Think about all those things that God does for you…

February 2, 2009

How often do we thank God for the everyday things in our lives? If we are like most people, not often enough. Consider these ordinary things in our lives:

Breathing - How many people thank God for the ability to breathe? Most people on Earth are able to breathe without pain. Some find that most breathing is accompanied with pain. Those without pain should be thankful to God for that wonderous gift; those with pain should be thankful that they can breathe at all or that the pain isn’t worse.

Walking - How many people thank God for the ability to walk and stand? Most people on Earth does these things without thinking about them, with no suffering at all, and forget that this ability is a gift from God. For those who walking and standing are limited or accompanied by pain, they too should thank God that they can do that much, they could lose the ability totally or suffer more.

Thinking - How many people thank God for the ability to think? Most people on Earth have no problems thinking and living a life with intelligence. This is a great gift from God and we should be thankful for it.

Communicating - How many people thank God for the ability to communicate with others? Most people on earth have no problems letting others know what they think, feel, and desire. We should thank God for this gift we premit us to share our lives with the lives of others. 

Sensing - How many people thank God for the ability to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch? Most people on earth uses these everyday and take them for granted. We should thank God for being able to sense our environment. 

Loving - How many people thank God for the ability to love? Every person on Earth has been granted this wonderful gift which God will always strengthen when asked. We should thank God for this great gift, that we share with God himself.
