Dr. Moore this is definitely something I needed to both read and hear. In the past my experience has been that person that forgets to give thanksgiving in a lot of things.

I desired marriage and God blessed me with a wonderful wife and I fail to thank Him everyday for this gift and I also fail because I do not always treat His gift with love and respect.

Thank you for reminding me that there are areas of my life in which I desperately need to grow.

Dr. Moore, thank you for this post. I’ve saved this link for future reference when I undoubtedly take something for granted 10 years (or sooner) from now. I cannot help but think how many marriages are ruined after years of ingratitude.

Even now, though, I am convicted by this article. I prayed for a younger sibling for years, and once I got one, I all too soon started ignoring him “because of the age difference” and other things. How wicked of me! God, be merciful! … None of us are promised tomorrow; let us be grateful while we can. So true, Dr. Moore … Thank you.

[...] Why I’m Ungrateful. Russell Moore shares a thoughtful post on gratitude, or lack thereof. Is there something you prayed for, fervently, in pleading in its absence that you haven’t prayed for, fervently, in thanksgiving in its presence? [...]

Thanks (once again - you keep doing that, Russ) for bringing tears to my eyes. I recalled my decision to walk away from a fast-track, highly visible, personally-fulfilling ministry as a Navy Chaplain - which was living out a life-long dream to be a Naval Officer from years before my conversion - in order to live in small towns, with small churches, because my 3 young daughters needed a father who was at home.

Two of the three are in the kitchen right now; we spent four days with other one and her family last weekend. There is nothing can can match the joy - and therefore the necessity of great thanksgiving to a gracious God - than seeing your kids following Jesus and living happy, fulfilled lives.

Was it Merlo who put George Bernard Shaw’s words to song - Youth is wasted on the young. Perhaps it is more true that maturity is wasted on the mature.

I was once told serveral years ago by a beautiful elderly saint in our church that lives alone, she said with love and sadness in her time tested weathered eyes “where there is silence there is death, where there is noise there is life”. This is one those beyond words statements that drops you where you stand and actually still does for my wife and I. We try to welcome the noise of our children because one day that noise will cease and we will long for what we once tried to snuff out.

What a great message that reinforced for me, again, how self-centered I am, and how often I fail to appreciate how much our loving God has provided me.

Also, some good friends of ours recently lost their 23 year old son in Afghanistan, which makes your message even more poignant.

I was in the EXACT same position last night as my two year old beckoned me to a wrestling match before he went to bed. I was finishing up work on the computer and I shrugged him off like an annoying afterthought.

Thanks for making a grown man cry over his own wretchedness; we are truly in need of his mercies every morning!
