Thankful for the ability to feel pain... A humble reminder that I am a mere mortal. A grateful reminder of the pain endured on the Cross. For experiencing healing... A gentle reminder I am only human. A beneficial reminder that, in order to take each breath, every step, and live a single moment of a given day, I have to lean on He who has been there, He who has made me. Thankful for the gift of living
Thankful for Hope... For Him to lead me through... For He never lets go of my hand regardless of the circumstances. Thankful for that small thread of Hope that keeps me hanging on to Him. Hope for healing... Even if that healing may not find me physically, that it would find me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Thankful for the Hope that is Jesus.
Thankful for family... I am blessed. For the peace and comfort of being a DAUGHTER of the ONE TRUE KING... His PRINCESS... a CHILD of the CREATOR OF LIFE, of all things above, below, and in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. For the family He has blessed me with... The support, care, love, and prayers of my brothers and sisters around the globe... From Kansas to Washington to Indiana... From Africa to Japan and back again. Thankful for healing hands and shared wisdom... For provided knowledge, sought out life, and support. Thankful for who He has blessed me with and the incredible and eternal family I am a part of.
Thankful for the little things... Quiet. Rest. Stillness. Peace. Solitude. Coffee. Comfort. Writing. Relationships. Fellowship. Laughter. Rain. Green plants. Blue skies. White clouds. The calm in the small raindrops during a summer rain shower. Hearing the rain and seeing it fall. The miracle of life. The miracles in life. A trusting friend. Thoughtfulness. A mini-vacation. Rolling hills. Rumbling thunder. Sun showers. Peaceful bliss.
Thankful for a Loving Father... Beautiful Creator... Infinite Being... Holy Redeemer... Wonderful Savior. Kindness. Mercy. Gentleness. Humility. Peace. Love. Servanthood. Sacrifice. Rest. Calm. Graciousness. For His Cross and Salvation that comes from it. An ETERNITY spent with the One who gave it ALL so that I might run to Him, know Him, love Him, and follow Him. Thankful for the One who picks me up and dusts me off when I fall... And NEVER stops loving me. For His Path, Guidance, and Love. Thankful for hills and valleys, the heights of the mountains and the depths of the seas.
Thankful that my King lives and loves and never lets go of me.
