Entitlement vs Gratitude

         Hey friends, I have underestimated the time-devouring animal that is college but just want to let you know, as intimidating school has been for me God continues to encourage me with his presence. God has already been working in my heart and mind, revealing more and more of who He is and who He's wired me to be. I really want to get into the details of everything I'm learning but I'm going to leave you with some quotes I've compiled for the paper I'm writing for my Christian Worldviews class.

One of the thing I noticed when coming back to Canada after being in South Korea is our culture's sense of entitlement and a loss of gratitude.

Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments on this topic that might inspire this paper!

May we gratefully recognize the gift of life which comes from the creator and respond with humility, awe, recognition of how blessed we are to have the opportunity to learn, grow, love, create, share and help others.  

              Eventually, when we look back on our existence, we see it all as a blessing, so we thank God for the fear, we thank God for the doubt, we thank God for the anger. And we thank God as each form of negativity becomes unnecessary as a response in our lives. – John Morton

                 We have to say simply, “Lord I receive, and I am grateful” It doesn’t matter what religion you practice; we must all surrender to the highest source we can. All of us must ask for protection, for that is what surrender really is – placing ourselves into the protecting hands of God – John Roger
