thanking God

There are so many impolite people out there who takes people for granted. I do not deny that I myself am not one of them sometimes, but these incidents really make me reflect upon our gratefulness on God's grace to us. By the way, the following incidents are just examples, it doesn't generalize Singaporean behaviour:

1) I've seen old folks not thanking those who offer their bus/train seats to them - I see a need to respect people of all ages.
2) Out of 5, probably only 1 will thank the person who press the 'Door open' lift button so that they won't get stuck - saving them from embarassment.
3) What about those nice peers who help to open the door for others? That's worse, out of 15, maybe only 2 will thank him/her. If this is not taking others for granted, or simply being impolite, what is it?

I predict some of you reading this post could identify with 1 or 2 of the above.

Well, take time to think. Do you think this is how we treat God sometimes? All the time, he is there, opening new doors for our lives, offering a seat of comfort when we are down and protecting us always. He did His part. Not only do we not remember to thank God for the wonderful things He has done in our lives, we ignore His presence..

I want to grow more in my thanksgiving and sensitivity towards God, what about you? :)
