Be Thankful

The last Saturday before Christmas. Centre of town was busy, the queues at the tillers stretched so long that at one shop it winded up a long distance. So what's all this about the credit crunch? It's there for sure but people are more conscious on how they spend. The high value items are the ones that are much harder to sell nowadays. When the oil price went up beginning the year, we all thought that the most affected group of people would be the poor and the have-nots. Where would they be by year-end? Amazingly at this momment of time, the most affected are actually the richest amongst us when the stock market crumbled, banks and companies gone bankrupt and savings disappeared. It is just amazing how vulnerable humans are. For we thought the richs have their wealth secured and happily living their high life, came the fate to plunder the wealth. It is a small reminder that everything we have in this world is God's own what little or large we get. We should appreciate and be thankful to God for all the wealth and abundance bestowed on us.
