‘Attitude of Gratitude’ observation for Thursday afternoon



I am grateful that my wife and kids and I are in good health. That’s something which is easy to take for granted, as all the other issues of life swirl about during the day. But we watched an interesting movie the other night, “The Theory of Everything,” about the life of super-smart guy Dr. Stephen Hawkings. It was very moving to see how the terrible disease ALS first took away his ability to walk, then his ability to talk. So I’ll try to whine less often when, for example, my middle-aged back is achy or my gimpy knee is sore. It could be a whole lot worse. Thank you, O Lord, for the gift of health.
