Good Morning, Lord!

Good Morning, Lord!

Thank You for another day of life.  Lord, thank You for the five senses You've given to me which I easily take for granted...
the ability to see the colors of the sky, cute, fat babies, stars, lines, glory.
the ability to taste food- Lord, You know how I enjoy this!
the ability to touch... to feel fabrics, to lay my hands on my friends, warm embraces.  Lord, You brought someone into my life whose skin actually BURNED and could not get under a shower without hurting, could not wash her clothes without an ordeal, could not hug me without risk of pain.  Thank You, Lord.
the ability to smell... This morning I have my coffee brewing, and this weekend I smelled amazing aromas from fresh, organic foods grilled on mesquite wood.  Thank You for the smell of perfumes, colognes, lemons, flowers, sweat, life!
the ability to hear... cellos, violins, pianos, voices.  To hear the feeling in their words, the intonations and echoes.  Thank You, Lord, for music and the birds singing, chickens wake-up call, coyotes howling, javelinas growling!, buzzards buzzing... so many sounds, Lord.  Thank You.  Thank You Lord for the beauty of Your people lifting praises to You throughout this world! I love You!
There is so much more I have to be thankful for, this is just a drop of Your blessings, Lord.  Open up my heart, Jesus, and let me see and feel and know and appreciate all Your good gifts.
