Is the glass half empty or half full? Is the point that it is refillable? I suppose these are important philosophical questions, as they say a lot about us. Yet, this jpeg raises an even more pertinent question- Are we grateful for what we have...?

Matthew, Chapter 6 (WEB)
24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon. 25 Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
27 “Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan? 28 Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin, 29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 “Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
We live in a world where if someone pushes a button, all that we have can be taken away. How do we live with such knowledge? With God as our master is the answer. God provides us a new day of life and all that we really need, so why worry about anything? Why, indeed? Because we are human and just plain forget, I suppose.
Well, here is a reminder- God really loves you!!!
Are you listening, Gary?
Be grateful for what you do have!!!
