Big Things I Thought Were Small

What can I be grateful for in my life?Pathetic, useless and full of lies. I am one of the mistakes that God ever made. I looked at the graves, they were deader than me. I looked at the side of the road, the homeless were even more pitiful. I look at those who buried their dreams, they hurt more than me. Some of me are not in them. Some of the great things I have had all this time I just considered useless. Small for me is big for others. I really have to be grateful for the big things that I always thought were small things. These are the big things that I always thought were small things all this time.

1. I Am Alive.

Every day I open my eyes, every time I breathe the morning air, every time I see the ceiling of my house when I wake up in the morning. Those are big things that i never thought were big. I always hear that people who die beg God to bring them back to life in this world. I have to realize that this is a big thing that I have to be grateful for in this life.

2. I Am A Son

My mother gives me delicious food, My father gives me money. Don't the children in the orphanage not get to experience that? My mother washed my wounds, that's the most precious thing in the world. My father stitched my wound, that's the best thing in the world. They are the most beautiful thing God has given me. Why do I think there is nothing to be grateful for? I have to be grateful for the best things in my life.

2. I Am A Student

This lecture makes me sick. This lesson makes me want to throw up. The lecturer is driving me crazy. I hate college. But... didn't I pray for this? Have I thanked God that God answered my prayers? I saw my friend crying because he couldn't get the lecture that I hated. Another big thing that other people can't get. I should be grateful that I am in the class of my dreams, I should be grateful that I am studying this lesson and I should be grateful that this lecturer teaches me well.

Those are the great things that I got, those are the great things that I was blessed with. Those are the big things that I thought were small. Those are the things that not everyone has. Those are the things I am grateful for.
