I love the way the breeze feels as it gently rolls across my face........
I love the way the light spring rain feels as it bounces and rolls off my cheeks......
I love the glorious glow of sunrises................
I love the elegant light of sunsets...........
I love the smell of the air just after a good rain...........
I love the sound of the wind as it gently rolls through the trees.......
I love the power of lighting as it streaks across the sky..........
I love laying down in my bed at night, starting my restful nights sleep.......
I love getting up in the morning, wondering what the day might bring.......
I love when there are no words, just being there works just as well......
I love the sound of a mother trying to console her crying child......
I love the touch of my youngest daughter, as she explores her daddy’s hands......
I love the look of my older daughter as she runs to jump in my arms.......
I love knowing my wife is there for me, whenever I might have a need.........
I love knowing I’ll be there for my wife, if she ever has a need...........
I love the look of a full moon and stars on a clear and calm night........
I love the rustle and subtle sounds of unseen things in that same night sky.......
I love standing on top of a mountain, looking as far as my eyes will allow.......
I love the beautiful fragrance of flowers, especially in spring when they first explode with their blooms............
I love the freshness of the Spring air.......................
I love the warmth of the Summer air..........
I love the refreshing sense of the Fall air.........
I love the Coolness of the Winter air....................
I love the excitement at Christmas, knowing that what Jesus came here to do........
I love the appreciation of Thanksgiving as we reflect on all we’ve been given........
There are so many things that I love, I could go on for hours upon hours......
These just barely scratch the surface.............
All these things bring peace to me when I stop to think about them........
The last two are two of my favorites though......
I love the Lord for giving me all these things to love, as undeserving as I am.........
I love the Lord for loving me, and teaching me how to love...........
Thank you Lord for giving so many things to bring peace to my soul no matter what storm is tossing me about............

Ain't God Great!
Loved this list of gratitude and appreciation -
this kind of thinking will change lives!

Now, if only I could program my brain to recall that fact whenever I need it! I guess sometimes though...one just has to get mad or sad - it's what we are. There was a time I was so afraid of feeling..I am blessed to finally understand it's all gonna be ok...
The sermon was about giving thanks to God, no matter what situation we find ourselves in. It was really really good!!
Even in troubled times, there is always something that can be found to thank Him for!!
Rev
No, God ain't great.........He is AWESOME!!!
Even when I find myself struggling through things, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for!!
Rev
Thank you so much for your affirmation and kind words!! It's easy to forget what beautiful things God has given us to enjoy!!
Rev
Thank you so much!!
I love what you said about there being joy in each moment, no matter what that moment might be. I tell people often that there can be beauty even in our tough times if we just take time to look.......
It can be hard to open our hearts to feeling, that leaves us open to hurt also, I like you was the same way. But I eventually learned (with the Lord's help) that when we close our hearts off trying to protect them, we never know what we might be missing with the good also. Usually the good outweighs the bad a hundred fold!!
Thanks for coming by and leaving such kind words.
Rev
Thanks for coming by!! I think most everyone can relate to at least most of what I wrote!! There is so much beauty in this world to enjoy!!
Rev
