I have been to a few Chinese Christian weddings where most of the speeches repeated the importance to give thanks 感恩.
Whenever I am single, and have a moment to reflect on life before bed - which is a luxury when living with boyfriend because my mind is often occupied with other daily issues or worries - I often remember to give thanks to God for giving me a big comfortable bed to sleep in. I have been doing this since about 5 years ago when I bought my IKEA bed frame and mattress with my own salary. Now, despite the bed frame making squeaky noise and seemingly falling apart, mattress getting thinner and softer, I still go to bed feeling immense comfort and how blessed I am.
I do not take anything I have for granted. Nothing is permanent in life. I treasure everything I have while I can. I hope by sharing with you these thoughts, you might also gain awareness of your own blessings from God.
