Seven Blessings
Blessing #1 ~ Sight
Even though I can't see as well as years ago, I can still see.
Thank You Lord
Blessings #2 ~ Hearing
Even though I can't hear as well as years ago, I can still hear.
Thank You Lord
Blessing #3 ~ Taste
I love good food, I'm so glad God gave us taste buds! A good meal sure wouldn't be worth eating if you couldn't taste it! Do you know that the average person has up to 10,000 taste buds and they are replaced every 2 weeks or so. WoW!
Thank You Lord
Blessing #4 ~ Smell
There are some scents that take us back in time and remind us of loved ones, special memories, and places we’ve been.
Babies anytime, but especially after a bath, nestled in your arms.
Coffee brewing in the morning.
Popcorn popping at the movie theater.

Flowers, fresh mowed grass and rain.

Thank You Lord
Blessing #5 ~ Laughter
Isn't it fun to laugh? Laughter lifts your spirits, it's a strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. It also helps you release anger and forgive sooner.
Thank You Lord
Blessing #6 ~ Speech
Speech is the communication or expression of thoughts in spoken words.

I love to talk, sometimes I talk too much! I love a good conversation with family and friends, I call it 'visiting.'
Thank You Lord
Blessing #7 ~ Love
The ability to love comes straight from God Himself. Loving someone, someone loving you, it's what life is all about.
Thank You Lord.
A big THANK YOU to Rebecca Jo for hosting!
Until Next Time

ReplyDeleteHi Mary. I'm visiting from Thankful Thursday. You are the link ahead of me, so in good neighbor fashion, I wanted to pop by and meet you.
ReplyDeleteI am with you on every single one of your "thanks" for today. I always try to remember to thank God every day for the ability to walk, talk, see, and hear. It's so easy to take those things for granted, isn't it?
Blessings,
Patti @ This Beautiful Life
Hi Patti, thanks for visiting! Yes, it is so easy to get got up to the world and forget to stop and thank the One who created the world. I try so hard not to do that.
