Thankful

Sitting thinking and contemplating what it is I am the most thankful for

No it's not black Friday going my way to get something at the store

It's something beyond the material although I am thankful for those too

For example life would be a whole lot different without my clothes on or a shoe

A roof over my head with some covers for my bed and food to be well fed

But how about the fact that I can breath and comprehend what I read or the fact that I am not brain dead?

I have two eyes to see with two ears to hear I can bend my knee and have emotions to experience fear

Some don't get the chance to dance or love or laugh or shed a tear and some right now will only get to live another year

I complained about what I lack but have I counted what I have already within and around

I have two legs and feet that can walk the ground

and some complain that someone can't sing but have they thought for a second that someone else would love to have a chance to get to even hear that sound?

I have a brain and a mind to think and a heart to beat while I have longs that breath involuntarily

What's more? I have where I was born along with the friends memories and family

I could lost the opportunity to be born and have what I did and sometimes I took these things for granted as a kid

I am here and my prayers were answered because I am with the woman of my dreams

I remember dreaming about my soul mate and writing a poem about her in my late teens

What is the bigger picture? What is someone or something that is easy to miss?

Have I really thought about what or Whom took the time to create all of this?

I am thankful to Someone and am in gratitude to something so I don't buy that ignorance is bliss

That Someone is a King Who Reigns Supreme and I hope that you are starting to get the theme or understand what I mean

He was always there gave and went above and beyond in giving when He shared

Why He gave His life and paid the ultimate price and His name is Jesus Christ the One who cared

He went through the place the most darkest and dim He took on the gravity of the whole world's sin and did something that no one even dared

Transplanted from the domain of darkness to the domain of light through grace and the gift of faith He gave

I became free from captivity and was no longer bound to the chains of the enemy and was no longer Satan's slave

The one old master offered condemnation while the other met me where I was at and forgave

He freed me from my destiny where we all head the clock ticks life away to the grave

I have joy and peace I have the Holy Spirit in me that in prayer He will never cease

This message was inside and was meant to be spread so I stepped back and let the Lord give the release
