Gratitude

Here's a verse you don't hear quoted very often,

"Ears that hear and eyes that see-- the LORD has made them both." Proverbs 20:12

I could have ears that don't hear. I could have eyes that don't see. Sadly, I take these blessings for granted. I live as though I am entitled to have the ability to see and hear. But these senses are a blessing from the LORD.

If I couldn't hear or see then I would miss out on...

• watching my sons play ball
• enjoying music
• hearing the words "I love you!"
• seeing the cardinal outside my window
• listening to the ocean waves crash on the beach
• being able to drive
• watching the Georgia Bulldogs play football
• seeing my smoking hot wife
• reading the Word of God

and I think that would really stink.

So, I stopped today and thanked God for these really great blessing of being able to see and hear.
