Instead of giving up, God made a way to His path and showed us how to survive while still enjoying. Instead of eating out a lot we both got to cook more and create new dishes. Instead of buying only organic meats, we buy meat that is on sale and treat it to make it taste just as good as organic meats. Instead of expensive entertainment, we started going to the parks around Tucson. We discovered that the kids enjoy the parks more than the expensive fairs and other costly indoor entertainment. So, we grabbed a hold of God, remained steadfast and appreciative, and God made everything work out for the best. Now we are financially stable again and continuing to work towards submission to better appreciate all God gives us.
God willing, we need to make time to enjoy our blessings and ask God to help us notice daily things He blesses us with. It is such a great blessing for those of us that can walk to walk. It is such a great blessing for those of us that can just stand up to stand up. God helped me remember that these daily activities are great blessings from Him. I’ve learned so many valuable lessons from God, the main one is don’t forget to appreciate the many daily blessings in life that I have been taking for granted. May God help us all not to forget to constantly be appreciative.
[39:66] Therefore, you shall worship GOD alone, and be appreciative.
[2:286] GOD never burdens a soul beyond its means: to its credit is what it earns, and against it is what it commits. “Our Lord, do not condemn us if we forget or make mistakes. Our Lord, and protect us from blaspheming against You, like those before us have done. Our Lord, protect us from sinning until it becomes too late for us to repent. Pardon us and forgive us. You are our Lord and Master. Grant us victory over the disbelieving people.”
[39:66] Therefore, you shall worship GOD alone, and be appreciative.
[2:152] You shall remember Me, that I may remember you, and be thankful to Me; do not be unappreciative.
[76:3] We showed him the two paths, then, he is either appreciative, or unappreciative.
[7:10] We have established you on earth, and we have provided for you the means of support therein. Rarely are you appreciative.
[14:7] Your Lord has decreed: “The more you thank Me, the more I give you.” But if you turn unappreciative, then My retribution is severe.
[14:34] And He gives you all kinds of things that you implore Him for. If you count GOD’s blessings, you can never encompass them. Indeed, the human being is transgressing, unappreciative.
[16:114] Therefore, you shall eat from GOD’s provisions everything that is lawful and good, and be appreciative of GOD’s blessings, if you do worship Him alone.
[22:37] Neither their meat, nor their blood reaches GOD. What reaches Him is your righteousness. He has subdued them for you, that you may show your appreciation by glorifying GOD for guiding you. Give good news to the charitable.
[23:78] He is the One who granted you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains. Rarely are you appreciative.
[25:62] He is the One who designed the night and the day to alternate: a sufficient proof for those who wish to take heed, or to be appreciative.
[28:73] It is mercy from Him that He created for you the night and the day in order to rest (during the night), then seek
His provisions (during the day), that you may be appreciative.
[30:50] You shall appreciate GOD’s continuous mercy, and how He revives the land that has been dead. He will just as certainly resurrect the dead. He is Omnipotent.
[31:12] We have endowed Luqmãn with wisdom: “You shall be appreciative of GOD.” Whoever is appreciative is appreciative for his own good. As for those who turn unappreciative, GOD is in no need, Praiseworthy.
[34:15] Sheba’s homeland used to be a marvel, with two gardens on the right and the left. Eat from your Lord’s provisions, and be appreciative of Him—good land, and a forgiving Lord.
[35:12] The two seas are not the same; one is fresh and delicious, while the other is salty and undrinkable. From each of them you eat tender meat, and extract jewelry to wear. And you see the ships sailing through them, seeking His provisions, that you may be appreciative.
[43:13] As you rest on top of them, you shall appreciate such a blessing from your Lord, and say, “Glory be to the One who subdued this for us. We could not have controlled them by ourselves.
[45:12] GOD is the One who committed the sea in your service, so that the ships can roam it in accordance with His laws. You thus seek His provisions, that you may be appreciative.
[2:172] O you who believe, eat from the good things we provided for you, and be thankful to GOD, if you do worship Him alone.
[32:9] He shaped him and blew into him from His spirit. And He gave you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brains; rarely are you thankful.
[36:35] This is to provide them with fruits, and to let them manufacture with their own hands whatever they need. Would they be thankful?
