Deep Thoughts

Believe it or not I found this 

little quote (?) on

Pintrest.

Does it count as a quote if it is not attributed to anyone?

Hmmm.

Nonetheless,

for your consideration I present:

What if the only things you woke up with today

were the things you thanked God for

yesterday?

I try so hard to practice 

thankfulness. 

To be grateful. 

To be actively aware of all God has done for me.

And it's funny that after I tried to compile a list of 

all the things I am thankful for and 

really would be sad if I woke up without tomorrow, 

I determined the list was too long and was bound to be missing things.

So then I thought I should take it down to the most basic needs in my life. 

God. 

Jesus. 

The Holy Spirit.

And whereas I think that is spot on,

I can't help but think it's a bit of a cop out.

I think I am called to count my blessings. 

And this makes me think again about how much there  

is to "keep track of" as a Christian. 

All the things I should do, not do, try to do. 

And then I am thankful for all those things. 

That's the stuff that keeps my eyes turned toward God. 

And me on my knees.
