Quoteworthy....Chesterton on Thankfulness


Here dies another day
During which I have had eyes, ears, hands
And the great world around me;
And with  tomorrow begins another
Why am I allowed two?
    --G. K. Chesterton


[Why am I allowed 2?  3? 
a whole string a days ....?
a week? a month?...even years..?]


Days of grace... Why were we allowed any at all?
with color? (He could have given us a black and white world) and joyful music? with friends and family? (He could have sentenced us to solitary confinement because our sins are so contagious) ! 
And that's not even looking at eternity in heaven with Him? all with God's eternal bounty?

It's all about gratitude....He loves gratitude...It's really not hard to please God! (See Colossians 3:15-17 and Romans 1:21-23)

[Someone should write a song about His amazing grace!]
