Thanks for Nothing!

Thanks for Nothing!

Yesterday (January 21/15), I was visiting one of the teaching hospitals in Addis Ababa with a friend. While we were sitting at one of the corridors, I saw a Hemodialysis room in front of us. Hemodialysis is an artificial procedure of removing waste from the kidneys using plastic tubes. This is a room where patients who cannot remove their waste in a natural way go and get assistances.

Often times, we seem to be covered with blindness for there are many things around us but we get zero lessons. Sometimes, we only focus on ourselves and fail to see the external factors that are full in wisdom.

Dear friend, is there anything holding you back because there is no reason to give thanks to the Lord? Look around and you can find some. If you look around and still not able to see pictures, just give thanks to the Lord for nothing!

Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Phil 4:6).
