He had been hit by a car, and she was grateful that he was alive. However, she was upset that her sis- ter, the mother of the boy, didn't respond in the same manner as she did. Instead, her sister asked, "Did he do it on purpose?" Accord- ing to my co-worker, the mother didn't seem to care that her son could have been killed and that he was injured. My friend further explained that her nephew had a strained relationship with his mom. As an edu- cator and minister, I have heard many sad stories like this one. There are many broken families or toxic re- lationships among relatives for various reasons. One reason I believe is the lack of gratitude or appreciation for one another. Thanks or Complaints Philippians 1:3 (NLT) says, "Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God." How many of you thank God every single time you think of your spouse, children, or parents? I'll admit it. I have been guilty of complaining about them occasionally, instead of being grateful for them; we all have. However, when it becomes a habit of only focusing on the negative, instead of the positives, it will put a damper on our at- titudes and actions toward our loved ones. It's easy to point out another person's faults, but not as easy to see our own. Luke 6:41 (ESV) states, "Why do you see the speck that is in your broth- er's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" However, we must strive to overlook or for- give offenses, and begin looking for those qualities that we like. The Urgency of Today I challenge you to find ways to show gratitude to your family members: TODAY! Please don't wait until it's too late. Memo- rial services are for bring- ing comfort to the living, but those that have passed on can't hear the accolades. Express your heartfelt love and appreciation to them: NOW! Let your children know that you are proud of them and grateful that you were chosen to parent them. Psalm 90:12 (NLT), "Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom." Also, don't forget to pray for them, and speak a bless- ing upon them . PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Lord, I am grateful to be a child of the liv- ing God. I adore you and praise you for being faith- ful, good, and merciful to me. Thank you for my fam- ily; they mean a lot to me. You have given me these individuals to love forever, and I know they love me. Forgive me for complain- ing about them. They are not perfect, and neither am I. Yet, they enrich my life every day. Help me to overlook their mistakes, and I pray they will forgive me for mine. Remind me to speak words of encourage- ment to them. I pray they will always know that I love them. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen." Danyale Patterson would love to hear from you! Contact her at www. danyale.com to share a tes- timony, send a prayer re- quest, or book her to speak.
