"Sat(her)day" Anew

The only good thing about being sick is ...

how much bluer the sky is

how much brighter the sun is

and how much whiter (and fluffier) the clouds are when you get past it. Smile.

I spent my "Sat(her)day" time taking a stroll through one of my favorite local parks. I took time to enjoy (anew) the beauty of God's creation which I so often take for granted. I gave thanks for the blessing of health which I so often take for granted. I enjoyed (anew) the joy that springs from a thankful heart for the things which I so often take for granted.

Was being sick fun? Absolutely not, but it sure put things in perspective.

Take a moment today and give thanks for some of the things you often take for granted.

Give Thanks

Psalm 100 - A Psalm for Thanksgiving.

Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.

Serve the LORD with gladness;

Come before Him with joyful singing.

Know that the LORD Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving

And His courts with praise

Give thanks to Him, bless His name.

For the LORD is good;

His lovingkindness is everlasting

And His faithfulness to all generations.
