And it goes back to perspective ....

Perspective is what is the driving force to develop most of our character ...and it drives our motivation, and attitudes.

Corrie Ten Boom belonged to a Christian family which helped people to hide to escape the Holocaust.  After an informant told of the family's activities ...she spend 10 months in a Nazi concentration camp.

Later, Corrie said, "When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away your ticket and jump off.  You sit still and trust the engineer."  And she trusted the Engineer of the universe.

We can be grateful for the breath of life that God gives us each day ...and if that is diminishing, then we can be thankful for the change we will soon experience through the eternal life God has given us.

Hopefully, any degree of ungratefulness, which we all participate in at some time, does not reach the level of unbelief.

And I don't mean little bits of doubt or unbelief with difficult things that come our way ....what I mean, is unbelief in the grand sense, where we don't allow ourselves ever to believe in God's gift to us --- Jesus.
