Thankful Thursday ~ 5 Senses

“I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.” ~ Psalm 7:17 (ESV)

You might ask why I am thankful for the 5 senses — sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Well, I don’t know either — it ‘popped’ into my head this morning as I was driving to work ๐Ÿ˜€ …You know, we (I) take our senses for granted – not all people are blessed to have all 5 of them. I thought it would be a good idea to share my grateful heart that I still have them..

  • Thank You, Lord for the sense of sight. I am able to read my Bible, encouraging books, read traffic signs, see my family and friends smile, see the beauty You have created around us…
  • Thank You, Lord for the sense of hearing. I am able to listen to comforting words from pastors, teachers, music that gets me though the day. I am able to hear the words “I love you” said by my beloved, our son, or even friends…
  • Thank You, Lord for the sense of touch…I can embrace the face of my beloved, give a hug to a friend, and one day soon touch the hem of Your garment…
  • Thank You, Lord for the sense of taste…I can enjoy all the yummy foods, like pasta salad, chicken, apples, grapes, flavored coffee…
  • Thank You, Lord for the sense of smell…I enjoy the smell of fresh brewed coffee in the morning, fresh baked cookies, my favorite perfume, lit candles around the house…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us in leaving your link below…

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember – be thankful for even the smallest things in life. Keeping a grateful heart, praising Him in all circumstances, makes traveling the winding road of life a little easier…

Thankful Thursday ~ Random

“I will thank you forever, because you have done it. I will wait for your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly.”
~ Psalm 52:9 (ESV ~ emphasis mine)

Today, I just want to share some random thanks with you all…

  • Lord, thank You for Your grace and mercy, ever.single.day…
  • Lord, thank You for the days when I have some time to talk with my beloved after work. It is a wonderful thing to do in our daily, busy lives..
  • Lord, thank You for the women You have assembled at Laced with Grace. Lord, thank You for the women that may be writing in the future at the devotional blog. And thank You from the bottom of my heart for the readers You are sending. Lord, may we glorify You in everything we write and honor You with our lives…
  • Lord, thank You for the wonderful new website my friend Darlene started – “Writing Fundamentals“. I pray that not only I will find helpful information about writing, but that You guide others to her site…
  • Lord, thank You for Your patience with me. I am grateful for Your direction in the bookstore the other day. You know that I was looking for a different book. I know that You made sure that it was not available. I thank You for your direction to Rhonda Rhea’s book “High Heels in High Placesโ€”Walking Worthy in Way Cute Shoes“. You knew what my heart needed to draw me closer to You (actually wake me up!!!!)…
  • Lord, thank You for getting me through this summer. You know how hard it is for me. I am looking so forward to Fall, but then again You know that…
  • Last, but not least I want to thank you for the women that are assembling every week to praise Your name and give You thanks in all circumstances…

What are you thankful for this week? Please link up your post below…

As I read through some of the blogs from last TT, many of you had mentioned that starting to be thankful is tough, because of the circumstances in your life. I had to smile that some of you also mentioned, once you sit down and start writing, it is hard to stop…Amen to that sister!!!! There is always something in our lives we can praise His name…even if it is just getting out of bed every morning. Remember…He is always praiseworthy ๐Ÿ˜› …
