Hello ,

There was once a lady who complained about everything and everybody. Finally, her minister found something that she couldn't complain about. The lady's crop of potatoes was the finest for miles around. He said to her, "For once you must be pleased. Everyone is saying how splendid your potatoes are this year."

The lady glared at him and said, "THEY ARE NOT SO BAD, BUT WHERE ARE THE ROTTEN ONES FOR THE PIGS?"

Instead of being grateful, she was grouchy. Instead of realizing her great blessing, she took it for granted. It was as though she was saying, "So what? I always have good potatoes, but there should be more."

Sometimes we forget that being thankful is a state of mind, a chosen attitude, not a matter of circumstances.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Have a great day and God bless!
