Time to Think

I have had time to think about life. And I realized that I don't thank God for everything he does provide for me. I only notice what I don't see that he has provided. Even though, maybe he just hasn't provided it yet. Who really knows. God works in mysterious ways.

I have been reading a book titled, "Ordering Your Private World". It is very good. I would suggest it to anyone. It is rather old, but it still has lots of good insights. There was a really intriguing part in the book. It was really eye opening. I realized that I don't thank God enough. Especially for those little things that we all take for granted.

A man was quoted in the book. He writes:

"I turn my little omelette in the pan for the love of God. When it is finished, if I have nothing to do, I prostrate myself on the ground and worship my God, who gave me this grace to make it, after which I arise happier than a king. When I can do nothing else , it is enough to have picked up a straw for the love of God. People look for ways of learning how to love God. They hope to attain it by I know not how many different practices. They take much trouble to abide in His presence by varied means. Is it not a shorter and more direct way to do everything for the love of God, to make use of all the tasks one's lot in life demands to show him that love, and to maintain his presence within by the communion of our heart with his? There is nothing comlicated about it. One has only to turn to it honestly and simply."
