			<description><![CDATA[<p>Alot of people claim to know and love God but reject the Creator everyday!  By forgetting this:<br />
Having an attitude of gratitude!<br />
When was the last time you worshipped by taking awalk to show that you appreciate all of your six senses ( watching, smelling, hearing, touching,  tasting, or knew something in it's natural sense) and used your  limbs; when was the last you gave thanks for your current situation because you wanted out of your last; how many times have you drank a glass of water knowing the benefits it has for your body; what are you gonna do to make sure you show the Creator that you love and know-thyself; how will you show your appreciation for the gifts/manna!?
