thank you Jesus!

Today.... I felt content... the wind blew, the sun shone... and the day was beautiful!

To be there, and to feel free from life's worries... thank you

To love, and feel loved... thank you

To remember, and be remembered... thank you

To feel... thank you

Thank you for our five senses...
to hear... the sounds of nature, the sweet whisper of a child, the call of birds, every little sound that makes up life.... 

to smell... the smells of childhood, the smells of beauty, of nature, of being alive...
to taste... the sweetness of yummy cake, savory of my favorite dishes, a snowflake on my tongue... 

to feel... the softness of my mother's face, the roughness of a stone, the feel of dirt under my toes, the velvet of a flower...
to see... the beauty of a sunset, the details of a leaf, and more than we know... we see...

Thank you... thank you for all that you have blessed me with, and all I do not know I have... for everything... for all... my heart is overwhelmed by the love you have showed, through even the simple things we take for granted...

... thank you...
