Devotionals

I just want to thank you for the things that we regard as simple but yet they are so great when we really do think about them or when we lack them

Thanks for my little toe (when I broke it, I realized its worth) and the fingers on my hand

Thanks for joy, happiness, peace and the ability to joke

Thanks for sight, the ability to smell, feel and touch (some can actually not!)

I just want to thank you for the fact that I can smile
Some can not, because of a nerve problem, emotional or psychological disturbance

I do not slight them and their situation but I come to show my appreciation and my realization of the fact that I can not take this for granted

Thanks that I can eat and swallow by myself, that I can digest my own food,
This is a privilege and an honor
Some are strapped to tubes and machines for this to be done; some need therapy and counseling to down their meals
I remember them and I pray for your peace and healing that it reaches them in order for them to know you and appreciate your mercies like I do

Grateful that I can go to use the toilet whenever I feel like going, alone and without pain, It is a luxury I realize, because some can not just move their bowels without the aid of medication or equipment

I appreciate Lord that I can eat what I like and when I like, not being overly cautious of certain contents and food ingredients for the fear of a break-out or reaction due to allergy
Nor have I to worry about food for the morrow because I have an assurance from you as provider

I realize I must not take it for granted that I am better than those who can not or have not but must continually give thanks because regardless of my less than perfect nature, you continue to provide

A sound health must I never forget to appreciate,
because with the change in weather comes a variety of sicknesses and ill health but you JEHOVAH RAPHAEL, continue to heal and help our bodies’ immune system fight them off

Thanks for going out and coming in, many do so and never reach their destinations because of satan’s manipulations and nefarious activities on this Earth

Thanks for survival, through the years and deeply etched pain that your soothing balm helps to remember less and often forgive; moving on, stronger and wiser for it

Thanks for the mind of the writer in me, for your inspiration and word flow

Thanks for the opportunity of this medium and the fact that I can reach and touch souls this way

My prayers go to those in the field on missions for you, weathering the many storms and odds, just to take your word selflessly to the ENDS OF THE EARTH, may they never lack provisions and protection, and most importantly, may their strength and faith never wear thin.

THANKS THAT I CAN SPEAK IN PEACE AND WITHOUT FEAR ABOUT JESUS IN MY LITTLE CORNER OF YOUR PLANET AND EARTH
