It’s funny when we get so wrapped up with the things we don’t have instead of been thankful for the things we do have. I remember last year December few days to Christmas, we were
given our December salary and I noticed that I didn’t get a bonus; I was so upset because I was expecting a bonus badly. Few days later, I was talking to a friend and she complained that she was broke, and that they don’t get paid December salary till January (she is a teacher) , and I was still in my vexing mood for not getting a bonus. Immediately a little voice said to me… "see you are angry that you didn’t get a bonus and someone didn’t even get paid". Some people even lost their jobs. I felt foolish and I asked God to forgive me. I felt much better immediately. That’s the irony of life.

So guys be thankful, whether you got half of your salary, or you have been receiving the same salary for 2yrs…still be thankful.
