A Heart of Thanksgiving

I just finished listening and watching the testimony of Christopher Yuen. A couple of points he made that truly echoes how I feel and I want to reiterate them here and elaborate on my reflections.

foster a heart of thanksgiving - whether we are on the highest mountaintop or the the deepest of dark valley, we need to foster a heart of thanksgiving, for we have a good and loving GOD.

our days are numbered - whether you have good health or suffering a terminal illness, for every single one of us, our days are numbered, just that for a person with ill health, one is more conscious that life's end is near. (Chris Y is HIV positive) For a healthy person that consciousness is not so great and the disadvantage is that one may not live life to its full (purposefully and abundantly).

tomorrow has never been promised to anyone - GOD does not owe us anything (yet He so generously gives us many things).

(HIV) has given (CY) a lesson on GOD's sovereignity - we either be submerged in sorrow and sadness or rise up to discover and appreciate (and be privileged) to personally experience and understand GOD's sovereignity. We should just bow down in deep gratitude as we receive His bountiful grace and dwell in this glorious sense of blessedness. (for this special personal touch from the LORD)
