23 hours and 55 minutes to go...

Have you ever noticed how many people spend much of their life swimming around in misery - never taking the time to "notice" the magnificant.
A friend of mine once said - how much would the wourld change if upon waking each person would be thankful for waking up, the pillow under their head, the roof over their head, the pile of clothes on the floor, the carpet on the floor, the water that runs in thier shower. toilet and kitchen sink.
Just those few things and they wouldn't even be out the door for the day yet..not even the first five minutes and there is so much to be thankful for...

What about the other 23 hours and 55 minutes.

Minutes full of:
Plenty of food
The ability we have to "choose" what we "want" to eat.
Healthy children
Access to doctor to make us well
Spouses that love us
A heart the beats
The beat of music coming from my car's speakers
So much..
to
Be
thankful
for...
Help me to share.

Thanks be to God - in all circumstances.
I've been the client
I've been the caretaker.
Thanks be to God - in all circumstances.

In struggle
In pain
In loss
In lonliness
In heartache
In misunderstandings
In hurt
In all things - Thanks be to God.
