Thank You, Lord, Looking Within

Thank You, Lord  -- Looking Within

Happy Black Friday. Seems like a crazy name for the name after a season of Thanksgiving. Today I share the third part of Charles Swindoll’s prayer:

Looking Within – Thank You, Lord
           
            for the gift of good health, a hidden treasure easily overlooked
            for eyes that see the beauty of your creation
            for minds that are curious, creative, and competent
            for memories of past pleasures and recent accomplishments
            for ears that receive the world of sounds around us
            for the special stimulation of taste and touch
            for hands to work with and legs to walk with
            for heartaches that force us to rearrange our priorities
            for broken dreams and lingering afflictions that humble us

Lord, may we be men who turn THANKSGIVNG into THANKSLIVING on a daily basis, not just on Thanksgiving Day. – Bill Welte is President and CEO of America’s Keswick
