This will be a shorter blog today: I am thinking on the value of words and simple things that we take for granted. It is with words that we can build up, and it's with words that you can tear down.
The other day I was working through some things and someone took the time to say a few words to me that have left me thinking.
The words spoken to me were "I will fight for you, I am on your side"
I am going to spend the rest of my life remembering those words, but also remembering to tell them to my children often!
Father God loves us and will always be fighting for us. Out of that love, He has also placed others in our lives to speak words of love to us.
The simple things that we often take for granted:
- ears to be able to hear the words of love and encouragement spoken to us
- eyes to read the Word of God, and look into the eyes of our loved ones to search for the unspoken feelings
- eyes to watch children playing and their faces lighting up when they receive a gift
- a mouth to speak and make our thoughts and feelings known
- a voice to sing praises with
- arms to hold and to be hugged
- hands to play piano, hold a book
- feet and legs to get where we want to go
That's all for now: take time to be thankful for all you have and are because of Father!
In Him
