Whom shall I thank for this life?

Thank you God for giving birth to me even though you could have given birth to another child. Thank you, my father, who God chose to give birth to and raise me. Thank you to my mother, who gave birth to me. Thank you to my brothers who grew up with me through thick and thin. Thank you to my parents who worked hard to make me who I am. Thank you teachers for teaching various lessons from the beginning of learning till now.

Thank you to my loving life partner who is still with me today despite many differences, my weaknesses and difficulties to understand me. Thank you to my children who respect and love me despite not being a perfect father.

Thank you to other countrymen who helped me without knowing who I was and never expecting anything good from me in return. You showed me God. Thank you to my neighbors, classmates, fellow residents, co-workers, those who gave me a job, who connected with me even though I had no glory, despite having many flaws and shortcomings.

As another year passes by in my life, I live with the remainder of a lifetime’s worth of gratitude. Thank you God for keeping me strong in all the difficulties all this time. Let I be steadfast in going forward boldly where God leads me.

God bless you for reading this post. Let’s live in gratitude.
