Gratefulness

I rejoice in my weakness
because it it enables me to receive Christ's strength.
I praise God, even through the pain of a lingering splitting migraine.
I am grateful for the rest I receive in His presence.
I am thankful for the gift of sight, even when it is not working properly.
I am thankful for the ability (when I am able to see clearly) to read books and do homework with ease.
I am thankful for friends and family, even though they are oceans away from me.
I am thankful for the gift or hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting, touching, moving.
Tis funny how I notice these as gifts and not norms because of times like this.
I am thankful for the clean air of Ireland, the lovely gardens, and the melodies that float to me on the wind~

"Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near." Philippians 4:4-5
