LIfe is not easy but we have to...

Hi

I have two questions about the following sentence: 1) Does it sound natural? 2) Should I use be or being?

Life is not easy but we have to keep on living and being thankful to God for all that He has given us. We are better off than so many other people.

Thanks,

Tom
