Day 23: It Made Me Think

I just read an interesting comment in an article that made me stop and think. My first thought was that I was in agreement with the quote. My second thought was that this would make fantastic blogging material. My third thought was, do I really want to put that in the blog? I’ll risk alienating some readers or worse yet, lose some.

The short answer to the third question: yes, I do want to put that in the blog. I’m allowed to share my inner thoughts on my own blog, n’est-ce pas?

Now for the thinker comment. Someone was quoted as saying “Sometimes I am so grateful to God, that I don’t even ask Him for anything; all I can do is thank Him”. Sometimes I too am so grateful to God that all I can and should do, is thank Him, but I don’t always do that. I do stop and thank Him when I see answers to prayer or see ways that He’s intervened in my life for the best. Yet, that’s very easy and almost kinda basic to thank God for answering a request. But sadly, I don’t just thank Him for His goodness and sovreignty and mercy and unconditional love often enough. I really should, though, because He’s God and He truly has been so good to me, even without my requesting it and especially though I can’t even do anything back to Him as repayment for what He does and will do and has done for me. I’m glad to have recognized this before though and am trying hard to just give thanks regardless of what went on in my day.

God’s the only One I know that doesn’t require a reason or day or special event in order for me to thank Him. He’s just cool–that’s enough for me to just do it.

And now a couple pics to end off, as we’ve tamed Jamayia’s hair.
