things that are forgotten

There are many things we forget about being thankful for. Not just to your parents for picking up after you or the birthday present you got from a friend, but a heavenly gift from our heavenly father. Like the birds we hear every morning when we wake up. Or the seeds that supply fresh fruits and vegetables in our own backyard he created. Or when you are holding that baby girl or boy the second it was born. See, we forget to thank God for the good sometimes becsue it's harder to. if that makes any sense. It's definetly easier for me to go to God in times of trouble the In times of thankfulness. Why is that? Why do we do that? I've been noticing things a lot deeper and thinking wow, that was made from God I am touching what God has made or touched. Like our hands for instince, take a minute and just look at your hands. you know he could of made us have 7 fingers but instead he chose 5 because these finger will be used for a purpose. and look at your palms of your hands and the lines and marks, he sculpted these in his own image what we are looking at is God. Now the one thing that makes me all warm and close to God is holding a new born baby. That new born baby that was just born came from heaven, do you understand how amazing that is? holding the child that God has laid his hands upon. Holding that baby that God has sculpted. That's incredible. How about the wind? Maybe the clouds? The sun? The trees in the forest? the sunset or sunrise? Gods hand has made this earth. what we are and what we live in is Holy. But really, be thankful be amazed! Because who you are is God, what you touch is God, where you are is God. Remember that. :)
