Thankful

 

 

 

Let's be thankful! Thankful for plenty ~

plenty and more ~ of things to eat and

wear, of shelter and warmth; of beauty. 

Plenty of things that money can't buy,

such as tenderness and inspiration

and revelation and insight.

 

Thankful for family ~ family with

individual personalities, gifts, needs,

and dreams, each such a gift ~

all feeding into what we are and

what we will become. 

 

Thankful for friends ~ for stimulating,

vivacious, provoking, comforting,

disturbing, encouraging, agitating,

blessing, loving, warming,

forgiving friends.

 

And thankful for the courage to go

on trusting people, risking love,

daring to believe in what could be,

all because of the confirming

experience of daily trusting God

and finding him utterly trustworthy.

~Gloria Gaither

 

 

Am I thankful?   Yes, thankful for all of the above.  What do I need?  I have all that I need.  If I didn't owe on my house, I would owe nothing other than tags on the car when they are due and insurance.....  So I have lots of money..... NO, but do I need lots of money.... NO.

I live in a beautiful world.  I even love my back yard (and it needs help ~ lol ~ well, grooming, as far as back yards go).  Nature always touches my heart.  Water, be it oceans or streams, rain or puddles.... it glissens and shines and washes the world anew ~ I love it and there is plenty around for me to enjoy!   So many different places with their own special beauty and all out there for us... for me.  Creatures ~ large and small ~ horses, rabbits, birds.... so many amazing creatures to observe and enjoy!

People... I have the best of people in my life.  My family ~ I am loved so much (haven't figured this one out as they know me so well and think I can do no wrong ~ hmmm, could be love is blind), and friends...my goodness, the best!  Work with some of the most wonderful girls you would ever want to meet and what a team ~ couldn't ask for more.   There are so many wonderful people out there.  We hear about them everyday ~ we pass them on the street.  We visit with them on our computers and stand in line with them at the grocery store.

Yes, I'm thankful,

for all of this....    for love

It is the most important thing in the world.

Our love for each other, God's love for us.

So what do I need? I don't need anything! God has given me all I need!

 

Bet He has you too!

 

Something you need?

Think about it

(something you need

or is it something you want?)

Look around you !!!

Enjoy

And have a good week!!!
