Saturday's Snippet

Acts 17:28

 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Good morning, and a Sweet Saturday to everybody!

Today, I am thankful to be alive, and to have health and strength. What a blessing all of us have been given to see a new day with the ability to move about. Many do not have strength in their bodies as their health is failing, or they are suffering from a serious illness. For those people, I pray. 

Right now, I am viewing the sunrise here in AR, all because of the blessing of eyesight. I can smell the coffee brewing, and soon I will taste it, all because of the blessings of smell and taste. My ears pick up the small sounds here in our motor home. Fingers move across the keyboard. Feet propel me across the floor. I have a sound mind. But for God, none of this would be possible, and I want to say, "Thank You, Lord, for all of these blessings."

Many days I fear that I take the blessing of health for granted, so today I am focusing on being grateful for it. And, while I am showing gratitude, I will be praying for those less fortunate than myself. 

Here's a sweet song that goes along with today's blog post:

Thank You, Lord

by The Easter Brothers

Verse One

While the world looks upon me

As I struggle along

They say I have nothing

But they are so wrong

In my heart I'm rejoicing

How I wish they could see

Thank You, Lord,

For Your blessings on me 

Chorus

There's a roof up above me

I've a good place to sleep

There's food on my table

And shoes on my feet

You gave me Your love, Lord,

And a fine family

Thank You, Lord, 

For Your blessings on me

Verse Two

I know I'm not wealthy

These clothes they're not new

I don't have much money

But, Lord, I have You

And that's all that matters

Though the world may not see

Thank You, Lord,

For Your blessings on me

May your Saturday be filled with sweet blessings from the Lord, especially good health and the ability to move about!

Lord willing, I'll see you again tomorrow for another spoonful of thankfulness!
