Share with others if your needs are met

Posted November 27, 2014 12:01 am

I am thankful for my five senses. I have eyes to see the beauty of God's creation and the faces of my loved ones, and to enjoy books. I have ears to hear beautiful music, voices, laughter, radio and TV. I am able to smell bread, cookies and turkey baking and coffee brewing. I can taste chocolate, desserts, home cooking and restaurant meals. My sense of touch allows me to feel a baby's soft skin and a furry pet and give or receive a friendly embrace.

I have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, food on the table, money in the bank, a car to drive, family and friends, and I live in the United States where I have freedom of speech and worship. I know no needs, and to God I give thanks. Let us share our blessings with those who have not.
