After a hard day of work and coming home to help my husband clean and set up the pool for our children, I was worn out. and with a headache I finally got the chance to take a shower. The hot water running down my body felt incredible. SO relaxing. All my pain, all my worries and stress begin to melt away and wash down the drain. I was completely relaxed. I started praying. And not asking for anything. But thanking God for everything. The hot water that came right out of my facet. For the door that was closed and locked. I thanked God for the break from my needy kids. For the oh, so needed , peace and quiet. That lead to thanking God for the sense of feeling. Then I started thinking, how God blessed us with 5 senses, that I think, we tend to take advantage of. This is the list I made in my head of the Simple Things to thank God for. The sense of taste. I thanked God for every single one of my taste buds. The taste of Sweet Ice Tea on a hot summer day. BBQ pulled pork. Oat meal cream pies. Butterfingers. God intended for us to enjoy food! And down here in the south, we REALLY know how to enjoy our food. Whats next? Oh yes, The sense of Sight: Eyes to enjoy the beautiful sun rises and sun sets God purposely paints every day. The formation of clouds. How each one is different and never the same. A sights of a flower. Being able to see the precious faces of my children.Nature in itself is a treat for the eyes. What about sound. I love listening to music. All kinds of it. Birds singing. Children laughing. The sweet conversation with a love one. A cat purring.
Touch: Grass between my toes. The touch of my husband. My little ones reaching out to grab my hand. Soft hair. A warm bed. Hot baths. A massage.
Like I said , this was just a small list of The Simple Things I enjoy. What are some of the simple things that you enjoy in life? Maybe you can make a list of your own. I would love to hear the little things that your thankful for.
