Thankfulness

A story is told about a vendor who sold bagels for 50 cents each at a street corner food stand. A jogger ran past and threw a coupld of quarters into the bucke3t but didn't take a bagel. He did the same thing every day for months. One day, as the jogger was passing by, the vendor stopped him. The jogger asked, "You probably want to know why I always put money in but never take a bagel, don't you?" "NO," said the vendor. "I just wanted to tell you that the bagels have gone up to 60 cents." (Okay, so this should really be filed under UNthankfulness, but it's a great reminder about being thankful instead of ungrateful.) Daily Bread, January 22, ?year

"Here dies another day, during which I have had eyes, ears, hands, and the great world round me. And with tomorrow begins another. Why am I allowed two?" G.K. Chesterton

"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalms 118:24
