![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Monday, November 21, 2005 It is interesting, during Thanksgiving, seeing what people think they are thankful for. Friends, Family, God, Home, Pets, love, toys, clothes etc. These are things commonly on people's "thankful" lists.I've just been thinking lately of how amazing it is that I am able to wake up every morning! How wonderful our emotions are: what would we be without emotions? Masses of skin and bones without and character? There would be no laughs (those big guffaws or the merry tinkles). No one would ever "be relaxed". No one would cry or blush. What a boring world this would be - but God bestowed the gift of emotions on us - he didn't have to, but he did! What a creative, awesome God! How well designed and mind boggling is the gift of hearing! Think of it - vibrations travel through air and are translated in your ears to be the latest Barlow Girl or Bethany Dillon CD or your mom calling you for dinner. Your dog barks and you cover your ears. Someone whispers and you nod knowingly. How awesome is that?! My point is; how often do we overlook thanking God for the small things? Like that time your car almost didn't start, but it did; or when you beat your dad at that game of Risk; or when you could have broken a finger or leg, but you ended up only bruised; or you almost got his by a ball in the head, but it just missed you; or when you thought you had lost something, but you found it anyway; a look at how beautiful creation is; or how about a friend's laugh, a stranger's smile, an "inside joke", a mother's comfort, a father's kindness, a sunny day, a blue sky, a dog's wet kisses, or just knowing you're loved.

Tai Sophia PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO STOP BY - I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHO VISITED! I am 18 at the moment. I am a Christian and I love God and all he is doing in my life... even if I can't understand it all right now. I enjoy doing many things - which, some might say, makes me easy to get along with...maybe. I enjoy playing my violin, reading (lots), writing, art, animals, friends, and SINGING IN THE SHOWER!!! God's grace is SO amazing! What I'm Reading Favorite Verses Monday, November 21, 2005 It is interesting, during Thanksgiving, seeing what people think they are thankful for.
