Unappreciative
a)xa/ristov (acharistos)
- ungracious
- unpleasing
- unthankful
I take a lot of things for granted these days: running water, working electricity, smooth road, affordable gas prices. Then there’s God natural gifts like the air I breathe, my heart that keeps on beating, a mind that keeps on thinking, and the sun that rises every morning. I take all of those for granted because I still have them, and never short on them.
So what if one day they’re gone? Will I miss them? Of course I do. I’m hardly thankful when things work. But when they don’t work, I look for God to fix it. I under appreciate God’s gifts of the everyday life.
I don’t want to be unthankful. I don’t want to be ungracious. I want to appreciate everything you give me, Lord. I thank you for everything. I thank you for your grace. Amen.
For people will be … ungrateful.
