Anytime I start to feel discouraged or sad, all I have to do is look around.
So many others have heavy crosses to bear and compared to theirs, mine feels light.
Yes, there are many awful things in the world, but there are wondrous, miraculous things, too, like the birth of a baby.
Just look into a newborn's eyes and all your troubles suddenly disappear.
So today, I want to show you a few of the things God has given that I'm so thankful for.
For green grass and trees, such as shown in the photo at the top of this post!
For exquisite peacocks, even when they don't fan their gorgeous feathers:
For fluffy, woolly baby lambs:
For black-eyed Susans:
For blue skies and white, wispy clouds:
For camels, yeah, even camels, especially when they smile!
Today we are joining Think on These Things on Lorraine's beautiful blog, With a Grateful Prayer and a Thankful Heart.
Go on over and read all of the inspirational entries.
LOOK AROUND YOU RIGHT NOW. NAME ONE THING YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR THAT STANDS OUT?
