drops of grace.

I'm breathing. I'm alive. I'm living my life which was given by the Creator of heaven and earth. Thinking about how He brought me into this world makes the light inside me turn on, and realize: "I'm thankful." How many times do we stop for a minute, and think about how thankful we are? Sometimes days go by, days which are filled with gifts and treasures, so many which seem to be endless. And while we are lying on our beds at night, we close our eyes and sleep without spending a single moment to thank God for all those gifts. Sometimes we don't remember the importance of being grateful. And we should.

His gifts are endless. Like little drops of grace. 

Today, I'm thankful. I'm thankful for spring, for the new birth of flowers and chirping birds. 

I'm thankful for the sunny mornings, the green grass, and the soft, calm whispers of the wind. 

 I'm thankful for my sister, who whether it's spring, summer or winter, always makes me smile.

I'm thankful for the sweet and fresh taste of grapefruit, which makes each breakfast special. 

I'm thankful for books. Those books which teach us things, and those with magical stories.

I'm thankful for my good friends, who make spring days fun and memorable. Sit for a minute. 

What are you thankful for?  
Sit for a minute and thank God, whose gifts are endless everyday.
