We often find ourselves forgetting to be thankful for the things God has done for us, like the people he’s brought into our lives, the gifts he has given us or the love he shows us, instead the stresses of life get in the way and takes over and the lack of trust in God comes upon us which leads us to complain about the things we don’t have or how we want more. You can’t get mad at God because you don’t have an expensive pair of shoes when the old shoes you have on your feet work perfectly fine. We should stop and think about where we came from and how we got here, and remember God helped us all the way. If it is God’s will that you have those shoes then you will have those shoes. We need to get on our knees and thank him everyday for the many joys he has placed in our lives. Rather than always wanting and living a selfish life, pray for the ones that have it worse than us and help them get a pair of shoes.
