This morning it is still dark outside. I am the only one up.
I’ve spent the last few minutes, searching. I’m not feeling very thankful this morning.
I slept for three and a half hours last night…and my alarm going off at six in the morning did nothing to help my mood.
I wish there was someplace I could go…that was quiet. I desperately need the peace that comes with uninterrupted sleep.
A time for my body to restore itself.
But, there is no time for sleep right now. I have much to do.
So, this morning I struggle.
I reach for thankfulness much like a child standing on tiptoe to reach the top shelf.
If I stretch far enough I can reach it.
And so, my list begins….
*********************************************************************
Today I am thankful for:
* being able to get out of bed…legs that work and feet that are sturdy
* a refrigerator that has food and drink…even though I need to go to the grocery store, I never have to worry about food
* the stillness of the morning and being able to watch the sunrise…that never grows old
* cooler morning and evenings…my beloved Autumn is right around the corner!
* looking forward to family visiting this week
For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving. 1 Timothy 4:4 NIV
