Gratitude - it's all about attitude.

Though solemn in all its tone, i find it highly amusing how the person treated the incident of being robbed. To think that he can have four reasons to thank God in such an "unlucky incident"


"ii. We can always find reason for gratitude before God. Matthew Henry, the famous Bible commentator, was robbed of his wallet once. He wrote in his diary that night all the things he was thankful about:
First, that he had never been robbed before.
Second, that though they took his wallet, they did not take his life.
Third, because even though they took it all, it wasn’t very much.
Finally, because he was the one who was robbed and not the one who was robbing"

Now my own set when i had lost my handphone:
First, that losing my handphone has happened before and God was training me to be more careful and detailed-minded
Second, that though the handphone was stolen, it reminded me not to be too dependent on a tech gadget.
Third, because all the contacts were lost, the process of getting the contacts back was a good test of patience.
Finally, because i was stolen from and not the one stealing.

Wahaha, that makes down-in-dumps day so fruitful.
