Probably the most common Christian reason for seeking the
Divine is simple gratitude. We
deservedly remember our mothers on certain days of the year because she gave us
life and a good start on living. Even
so, most Christians will give gratitude, praise and time to the Divine because
he created them, loves them and has died for them.
Gratitude and honoring those who deserve it is
wonderful. It is healthy and brings
happiness to us. It makes us more connected to others. And it is a great way to begin connecting to
the Divine. We just want to make sure
that we don’t end there.
If we go into our father’s study, pop our head in and say,
“I just want to say thanks, dad, for all you did for me and my siblings,” and
then pop out, it’s cute. If we do it
every day or once a month, it wears on our poor father. He might say, “Hey, I wanted to hang for a
minute,” or “I want to tell you something,” then we have some kind of Cat’s
Cradle situation going on here.
Let’s be sure to show gratitude. And then hang around and spend some time with
the old man.
