Thankful

Everyone should be thankful for what we have. 

Thankful for our children, thankful for the house that gives us security and shield us from the weather, thankful for the car so that we don't have to walk to work, and thankful for the jobs that we have.

Thankful for the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the arms, the legs, the stomach and thankful for every part of our body.  Thankful for the air we breathe in.

Thankful for our families, thankful for the friends we have, and thankful for the freedom that we have today.

For muslims, we show our thankfulness or gratitude by saying Alhamdulillah.  We also pray minimum 5 times a day.  Our Maker had given us so much, and all we had to do is spend just half an hour a day for praying. 

When we've got problems, we assume that God doesn't love us.  Why are these bad things happens to me?  Why me?  But when we're not, what do we do? 

Everything has its up and down.  It's up to us to show our gratitude to Allah The Beneficent.
