Taking life for granted

So sometimes I wake up and forget to thank God for giving me another day or I forget to put a smile on my face. I forget that God has blessed me with awesome family, friends, and mentors; that he will always be there for me. I forget that the salad that I am about to eat was given to me. Sometimes I dont pray over my food in the cafeteria. It shouldnt be that way. Why am I afraid to pray over my food sometimes but other times I will pray till the cows come home? The Bible says that If we are ashamed of Jesus before men that he will be ashamed of us before the Father. I forget that the very earth that I trust will stay approximatly 93 million miles away from the sun was placed in orbit by an omnipotent and just God. Why do I take life for granted? people tell me all the time, "Chris, you are so amazing at the guitar and piano." The truth is that I sometimes forget to tell God thank you for giving me the talent. I pray that whoever reads this blog will reflect on life and your spiritual growth and see if you have thanked God today.
