These pictures probably don't mean anything to you, and that's fine because you weren't there.
About 35 seconds prior to these pictures being taken my son's face looked a little less content. In fact, he was screaming at the top of his lungs demanding that one of the three adults in the near vicinity - consisting of his mom, his aunt and myself - drop everything and lavish ungodly heaps of attention on him. (The adult in view is his aunt - as if you hadn't guessed that already!!!)
As you can see, upon being scooped up and inserting the hoodie string into his mouth he acquiesced into this pleasant blob of contentedness.
So what's the point? Well, there isn't one, accept to show off my very adorable son. But since this is a blog about leadership principles and someone who is looking for spiritual incite might be reading it, let me go ahead an make a point for you.
If my son can express this much gratitude about a hoodie string, how much more should we express gratitude for the things we've been blessed with? God has our best interest in mind and He always comes through for us even when we are selfishly screaming out for blessings that, frankly speaking, probably seem a little ridiculous from His perspective.
Maybe a good application would be for you to take a moment to reflect on how much you really do have to be thankful for. I would bet that there is more than you think, and an expression of gratitude is very photogenic.

Nice, Mr. Bishop. And by the way, after watching your son during a meeting last week, I've come to the conclusion, as have many others, that your son will be exactly like you. His facial expressions rival yours even now. :)
What a little cuddly monster! :)
How could any little boy that cute ever scream, fuss and carry on? HMPH!
John, your kid is adorable!!!
