Gratitude is a Thing of Beauty
I am grateful for the little fan that keeps me cool as I work from home.
I am grateful for the electricity that powers all of the amazing stuff that lights up the room, heats or cools the room, powers the laptop, heats the stove and cools the refrigerator. Electricity rocks.
I am grateful for water, hot and cold, running, thirst-quenching, life giving water.
I am grateful for the freedom to worship Jesus Christ with people who love me and who demonstrate the love of Christ in their lives.
I am grateful that I can sense another person's pain and, if God ordains, draw close to that person and share their pain and love them in their pain.
I am grateful that other people have shared my pain and loved me. They are the "way showers" in my life.
I am grateful for a pen with ink in it and a printer full of paper and a chair that sits well.
I am grateful for these and so many more things...so many more that I do not know when I would finish the telling.
The world is in turmoil. Each day I am confronted and challenged by the intensity of suffering that exists in our own small town.
I am grateful for the peace that passes all understanding.
I am grateful that His grace is sufficient.
I am grateful to have been set free. Once I was blind but now I see.
Time for bed. I am grateful I have a bed and a roof over my head!
