That is what my mom don't like us to do, she expects that thankful words, no matter how big or little gift we were given and failure to show grateful habit, she would begin the lessons once again, and will be citing the importance why we have to be thankful ln our life.
Each of her lessons were not a waste, because now that I am living on my own, facing life challenges and overcoming them, it make me see to the essence those words has shape my life to be thoughtful.
l keep the thankful habit then and I am sure that i am still holding on to that attitude right now.
As a child, when all l did was to play. One day, mom came back from the market, and l was with my friend at the front side of the house, she bought some stuff for us, and was sharing lt ln the house.
l didn't mind going as soon as possible, because I was enjoying the rubber band game, beside, I knew quite alright she was going to keep mine for me, although I lost in the game and the guy l played with pack so much of my rubber band, i was still believing that i was going to win.
So, what l didn't want as at that point was a distraction from anywhere, but when I heard
mom calling me, l have to paused the game and get to the house.
And just as expected, she has bought some stuffs in the market for us, that's what she do each time she go to the market, and the essence is that, we are to used lt and wait for when she will finish the superb meal she will prepare.
Fast forward, as i got there, because of acting hastily, I did not open my hands to receive the item, she refused to give me and told me to open my hands so that I received lt.
Merely looking at it, an items can fall to the ground, lf we do not open our hands when we want to received lt, nevertheless, lt shows we are not grateful of the item that was to be given to us, and which is very bad of a thing to do.
l later do as she said and I got it. Therefore, l went out to continue the game with my friend, but after l share the item with him, the scenario was still bothering me ln my mind, so I called off the activities
At that point i was not after the results of the game, but I needed to go and help mom in the kitchen so that I told her that i am thankful of the ltem she bought in the market for us, because lt seems she thought i did not appreciate it.
The deal was, l did not count the exact numbers of meat she gave me, l found out she was happy because I let her know that I was thankful of the things she gave me and then she was doing more.
Thanksgiving ls a powerful attitude and it attract greater blessings to come faster.
Speaking of me and how l feels when someone thank me, l will want to do more for the person.
Moreover, I will as well thank the person for keeping a grateful lifestyle that encourage good things.
