I wonder if it's not why we adults tend to take blessings for granted. Like the sun rising each day, the seasons changing, the beauty of fresh snow or an individual snowflake, the ability to walk, see, communicate with other people, fall asleep at night, a fresh piece of bread, a glass of cold, safe water when we're hot and thirsty, etc., etc. And that's not mentioning owning a Bible, understanding it more and more, realizing how much God loves us, how miraculous Jesus' birth was, and why He became a Man. Being free to meet with other believers, singing and praying together. And on and on and on!!! Hmmm! There may be other reasons as well, but this is an interesting way of thinking about it.
