I have so much for which to be thankful. People probably get tired of me saying it but it is absolutely true: I am so grateful for all the little things that I so often take for granted. The things that come to mind are the ability to walk and talk and think and comprehend. The ability to communicate and listen, to see and imagine, to come and go.
I have been blessed with all the extras - the best wife in the world, the privilege of being her husband and a dad to my kids. We have a very modest but comfortable home. We have vehicles to drive and places to go. We have a great network of family, biological, spiritual, and emotional. We have jobs that we enjoy, which allow us to have food and clothing, a feeling of fulfillment, and so much more.Yes, I have all of life's blessings.
Today's word is just a thought that came to me: "We so often take for granted the very things that others would so deeply cherish."
I am the worst of the lot. I will complain about my arthritic knees and hips, while I am sure others would love to just be able to walk on sore knees and hips. I find myself complaining about the high price of electricity or gas or cable, while others would love to have the privilege of having a home.
This Thanksgiving, I want to be more grateful, more aware, more cognizant of the many rich blessings that GOD has bestowed upon me. I am going to quit taking for granted those blessings that I have that others would so deeply cherish.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
