It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life.

Death Himself Live Worth
Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for
