above our heads is a little something that can protect you and me

What I appreciate#2. (:
Really, there's a lot of stuff to be thankful for on Earth, we just have to use our heads and dig deeper in there. Yesterday I posted that I was thankful for the Earth itself, and really, I am. Although there are stuff that angers us and many things that are unfair, look on the bright side! At least this is better than nothing. So today, what I appreciate is having a house. Having a roof over our head to block snow, cold, heat, rain etc. Our parents worked hard to support us and give us a house to live in. Some people may live in an apartment, a townhouse, a semi, a single house, or whatever, but they all count as something. They pay for the gas we use in the house, the water usage, the electricity, and many other bills... except some people take advantage of not having to pay and forget about money. Some people leave lights on (which indeed, costs money), some people take forever to shower or uses the water too much. Water consumption much? We need to think about the person who's supporting us and allowing us to live in the house, right?
a house is a house is a house is a house. (: So yes, we must be thankful for having a house and help those who are homeless. Now, I don't mean to go to every "less fortunate" people, you'd be pretty broke by the time you're done... but have a heart and give. Don't be so frugal and keep all those money! You're given money for many reasons and one of them is to give.
When you give, God gives back. You could call it a reward, but sometimes i don't mean it's hard cash or a better living style or something. When you give with a happy heart and a heart of love filled with godliness, God will see this and you will be rewarded. Maybe it's your heart that will change. Maybe your reward is having a different point of view in life? But one thing, never be greedy and give just so you can receive something back. Be like the woman in the bible, specifically the widow who literally only had 2 cents left and gave away with all her heart for.. offering or something. Even though she only had 2 cents left, she was still willing to give it away wholeheartedly with no regrets. THAT is how we are supposed to be. Give with all our hearts. Forget the rewards or whatever right? Yeah, we don't need those. The satisfactory in our heart is more than enough.
