RECOGNIZING THE GIFT

"When the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you -- a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant -- then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery." (Deuteronomy 6:10-12 NIV)

When you come to the place where you recognize that everyone and everything you love is a gift, it becomes possible to enjoy those gifts -- not with an attitude of greed but with one of gratitude.
