At an evening networking event some time ago, it had rained a bit just before the event, but it stopped. The restaurant hosting it planned to have it out in their patio. The staff wiped the chairs and tables down and lit the fire and colorful outdoor lights and it was a nice setting. The manager stands up to greet everyone and says, “Thank Gosh that it stopped raining!”
“Gosh”? Really? “Gosh”? Had it not been a business event, I would have taken her aside and asked, “Who is ‘Gosh’ that you’re thanking?” Which brings me to another question. If an atheist sits down to Thanksgiving dinner with his/her family, who exactly are they grateful to? Whoever made the dinner? That’s it?
One thing that I am grateful for in my Catholic upbringing is that I know God exists and I’ve never doubted that. I know that Jesus is His Son and that He died on the cross and rose to heaven in 3 days. And I know that the Holy Spirit is part of the Holy Trinity, though, I really didn’t know what the Holy Spirit did until I became a saved, born-again Christian. And, I thank Jesus for that Gift of Grace!
I can’t fathom anyone one not looking around at this great world and not seeing that there had to be a Creator God. But, this isn’t a post on apologetics. What I’m getting at is that God is the source of all that is good in this world. All good gifts, blessings, promises, everything! Furthermore, when we realize that, and become grateful to HIM, our attitude changes for the better.
Good Gifts, Blessings, and Being Blessed….
