Just a lil thank you

I live in a world full of people that take everything for granted. Sometimes I forget that I’m part of the world. I tend to complain if I don’t have the things I want or the life that’s portrayed on the big screen. Every once and awhile I realize that I haven’t taken the time to stop and look around at the things that makes life bearable. I know my manners. I know what to say when things go my way. Manners are great and all but I don’t remember the last time I actually meant please and thank you. I think sometimes I just think I deserve the things I have and when something comes along that I’ve wanted I say to myself, “It’s about time...” I go around each day living in the moment because that’s what society taught me to do, live. I guess living is what life is all about, but there comes a time when I need to look back at the life that I’ve lived; not to dwell on the past or yearn for the memories that once were; but thank God for the life that I’ve had. Thank him for the moments. Thank him because every single time I thought I was just about to crumble he took me in his arms and glued me back together. Sometimes however, I forget that life was ever broken I move on from my troubles without the slightest little thank you to Him who made it all better. Obviously I’ll have a little trouble sending God a thank you card but being appreciative of not just the things I have in my life but life itself is a thank you enough.

I’m thankful for the wind that blows my hair up towards the heavens. I’m thankful for the stars that make their statement in the sky. I’m thankful for the corn nuggets that dwell at Chicken Express. I’m thankful for the things I’ve been through because it shaped me into who I am today. I’m thankful for my threaded socks that warm my feet and bring color to my legs. I’m thankful for Sonic for making Super Sonic Breakfast Burritos without jalapenos. I’m thankful for Chinese food because it’s really awesome and amazing. I’m thankful for bathrooms because without them I’d pee my pants a lot. I’m thankful for music because it makes my mornings brighter. I’m thankful for orange juice with pulp because it’s like you’re eating and drinking fruit at the same time. I’m thankful for my childhood because without it I would have never made mud pies or made the backyard look like a river of chocolate that would have made Willie Wonka jealous. I’m thankful for my family because they shaped me into who I am today. I’m thankful for the places I’ve been because it opened my eyes to the world outside the bubble we all live in. Lastly I’m thankful for my Lord, without him I’d have no reason to live
