If there is anything one should be grateful for,now,I think one of it is mental stability, being sane.
Recently, I started seeing a very beautiful woman at a particular location of my daily route. She is a paragon of beauty but she is not in control of her senses. She is very tall,dark,ovally faced,well shaped with straight legs. During the day and at night(according to residents) she is sitting glued to the refuse dump and only moves around to stroll or buy foods with the alms she gets from passerby(s).She is an epitome of beauty but not in control of her own existence and thoughts.
Few years ago,I was in a commercial vehicle when two men came with a blind man pleading with passengers that someone should help him(the blindman) alight at the Bus terminal of interstate luxury buses. He was leaving Lagos for portharcourt. I opted to help and as a result I started a conversation between us. He narrated his experience that he once had his sight and was doing well but that he was driving his car on a day when suddenly there was a storm,he went blind immediately and this led to a fatal accident. He eventually did undergo some surgeries and thanked God for life and he has since being in pursuance of the restoration of his sight. He came alone to Lagos to see a renowned popular miracle worker pastor but was denied access to him .While on his way to Lagos,he was robbed of his money and possessions and had to beg to raise funds for him to return to portharcourt his base.
Although one may not have it all in terms of material blessings or as desired,when you have sanity and sight,even when one has them not but still have life,thanksgiving to God should never cease from one's life this period especially if you believe there is a God in charge of life.
