Jesus said to his disciples: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asked for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asked for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.”
In this gospel, Jesus clearly tells us to ask for help from God. He also says that God will give us what we ask for. However, Gods gifts often come in surprising and un-looked for guises. Many of the little things that we take for granted are in reality gifts, gifts that many don't have. As we become more aware of these things, we also become more aware of larger things, things that we notice, but never react to, because in our minds we deserve only the best.
Challenge: Today find at least 5 things to be thankful for. These don't have to be large things, rather go for the little things, thanking people for things that they never would expect to be thanked for.
