I sometimes forget what I have, the blessings I receive, the kindness I am given, and the warmth and love that others share with me. I am appreciative, but sometimes I think to myself, am I really showing my appreciation enough? what is enough? who set the standards of enough? when my heart feels it’s contentment, is that enough? these are things I sometimes think on. But we can never be thankful enough for the blessings that allah has given to us, he knows what we do not, he gives even when we don’t ask for it. he is the caretaker, the provider. from the planet to the soil to the water to the air in our lungs, how can we possibly be grateful enough, and all he asks is our worship. I start with that, I thank allah for the things I am given, and I must not let the dunya take over my thoughts, we are meant for a purpose a reason, and I cannot let my selfish desires get in the way of that. after thanking allah, I must thank those around me, my family friends and everyone who lends a supporting hand to make life just that much even if a little to be simpler. everyone working together, towards a common goal, that goal is peace, love and contentment.
