Minsan, hindi natin namamalayanโyung mga bagay na once upon a time ipinagdasal natin, ngayon parang normal na lang. Yung answered prayers noon, ngayon routine na lang. Yung blessings na dati halos hindi natin kayang paniwalaan, ngayon nakasanayan na kaya hindi na natin napapansin. Thatโs the danger of familiarity. Kapag masyado tayong nasanay, nawawala yung sense of wonder at yung heart of gratitude.

Kapag lagi mong kasama yung isang tao, minsan nakakalimutan mo na gift sila saโyo. Yung magulang na lagi mong nakikita, yung kaibigan na laging nandyan, yung asawa o anak moโminsan we take them for granted. Pero kapag nawala sila or dumating ang season na hindi mo na sila kayang makasama ng ganun kadalas, saka mo lang marerealize na hindi pala sila โgiven,โ kundi โgift.โ

Naalala mo ba nung time na pinangarap mo lang yung trabaho mo ngayon? Yung bahay na tinitirhan mo? Yung kalusugan na meron ka? Yung simpleng peace of mind na ipinagdarasal mo dati? Ngayon, kasi araw-araw mo nang nakikita, parang normal na lang. Pero ang totooโhindi siya normal. Itโs still grace. Every breath, every provision, every answered prayer is still a miracle.

Eto yung pinaka-dangerous. Kapag sanay ka na sa presence ni Lord, sa church, sa worship, sa prayer, minsan nagiging routine na lang. Parang wala nang fire. Pero tandaan natinโGod is holy, majestic, and beyond our comprehension. He is not โordinary.โ Every moment with Him is a privilege. Huwag nating hayaang mawala yung awe and wonder just because weโve grown too โused to Him.โ
Kaya ang reminder: ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐. Gratitude keeps your heart alive. Gratitude reminds you that nothing is truly ordinary. Gratitude teaches you to look at your life with fresh eyesโna bawat gising mo, bawat araw na may hininga ka, bawat tao sa paligid mo, ay regalo.
Sabi nga sa 1 Thessalonians 5:18, โGive thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.โ Hindi niya sinabi โgive thanks only when you feel like itโ o โgive thanks kapag bago pa.โ Ang sabi Niya: in ALL circumstances.
So, pause for a while. Tingnan mo ulit yung buhay mo. Tingnan mo yung mga tao sa paligid mo. Tingnan mo si Lord. Wag mong hayaan na familiarity will steal your gratitude. Kasi ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ช๐ก ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช ๐๐ง๐, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ข๐ค๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ฎ๐๐ช๐ก ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐.
