We should appreciate the good things with which we are blessed, be happy with our lot, and thankful for what we have been given.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">This is a wonderful opportunity to observe the world together with your child and acknowledge its goodness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":62792,"menu_order":9,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1404],"agegroup":[767],"book-subject":[1386,1287,1393,1295],"distribution_year":[1059],"class_list":{"0":"post-71146","1":"book","2":"type-book","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category----en","8":"agegroup-preschool-3-5","9":"book-subject---en","10":"book-subject--en","13":"distribution_year-2009-2010"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bagels From Benny - Sifriyat Pijama<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pjisrael.org\/en\/book\/bagels-from-benny\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bagels From Benny - Sifriyat Pijama\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The customers at Grandfather\u2019s bakery want to thank him for the delicious bagels that he bakes.\u00a0 When Grandfather explains that they should recognize God\u2019s grace rather than thank him, Benny decides to do something to express his gratitude to God.
