Sometimes when we want to get somewhere in life, we just want the fastest easiest route possible.  Sometimes we forget that the only thing we have to do is be truly thankful in order to receive. 

 "The unthankful heart....discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day, and as a magnet finds iron in the field, so will it find some heavenly blessings in every hour."
~Henry Ward Beecher
