Thankful For The 'Lil' Things

It's so easy to belittle some BIG blessings.

I have being guilty. 

Most times we don't know they are blessings until we loose them. 

We just regard them as the lil things.

It's normal to first remember and be thankful for the big things,but be thankful also for the seemingly little things.

Sometimes it takes seeing or hearing someone's experience to buzz our gratitude button. 

Today I choose to be openly grateful..

That I can see
(and appreciate the life around me)

That I can breathe
(without aid or paying for oxygen)

That I can walk
(unaided, with so much freedom)

That I can hear
(for the beauty of conversations, for music..)

That I can't use the toilet ,do all my business there with ease and all by myself
(seeing someone in great pains of acute urinary retention, will no doubt make one thankful)

That I got an education -primary,secondary,tertiary..
(thousands if not millions never got this opportunity)

That I have food and can eat
( some have food but cannot eat, some can eat but have no food...)
I once met a young man who had a condition and couldn't even comfortably swallow water..not to talk of semi solids or solids.

The list is inexhaustible.
Once I want to start complaining about something, I pause..
..and start being thankful even for having the opportunity to complain..
..a dead man has no complaint.


Everything doesn't have to be perfect before we remember to be thankful.

Start by being grateful for that imperfection.
I came to learn that ....and I have seen things I had thought to be imperfect blossom into beautiful things.

Bow down

....He shatters the everlasting mountains and levels the eternal hills. 
He is the Eternal One!

(Hab 3:6b NLT) 

There is just this awesome feeling I get reading / hearing such bold and authoritative statements. 

What a great assurance!

Life throws so many shades and sizes of curve balls. 

And sometimes it looks like there is no way out..

Some issues just seem beyond our human capabilities. 

New Morning

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceaseth
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning..new every morning
Great is thy faithfulness oh Lord 
Great is thy faithfulness..

Growing up,during the family morning devotion ,the song above used to be my mum's favorite. I didnt really like the song. And sometimes i got tired of singing it every day.

Perspective: What do you see?

Some see a wall

Hard core granite wall 

High like the proverbial tree

In the middle of the evil forest;

Some try to get across

By climbing..

Jumping on it...

Some try shouting at it..

Maybe it would fall down

Like the walls of Jericho 

The 4th of August : Keep calm, The Lord has done me well!!

Each year when it comes around this time and I sit back and look at my life, I always come to this conclusion -

THE LORD HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME!!

If I had a million tongues
