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
for the gift of good health, a hidden treasure easily overlooked
