I am thankful today for my sight. I began to think about what I was thankful for this week and because there are so many different things that I am thankful for...I needed to select just one for today. Many of the things that I am thankful for...I can actually see. So, I am thankful for my eyesight because without it, I wouldn't be able to see or do...
- my precious babies when they were placed in my arms...22 and 14 years ago
- the smiles on the same children faces as they have grown from babies to a young adult and a teenager
- see the faces of my beautiful step-daughters
- see the face of my handsome son-in-law
- see my children...3 out of 4 graduate from high school
- my mother's beautiful face
- my handsome husband
- read God's Word
- enjoy the beauty of the seasons that He created
- I couldn't see to do my job
- see my lovely home
- see the faces of my wonderful, dear friends
- drive my car
- watch my son play sports
- watch the waves of the ocean roll in and crash onto the shore
- ....this list could go on and on...but,...you get the picture.
If I were to lose it today, I would have the pictures that are stored in my memory to last me the rest of my life. I am thankful for all the beautiful and wonderful things that God has blessed me with and allowing me to visually see them.

Such lovely blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank you... YES we do have much to be thankful for... such a precious gift, sight. A blessing we all too often take for granted.
ReplyDeleteGreat TT post today. Because of vision problems David has suffered with all of his life - eyesight is not something I take for granted. But so many of us forget what our lives would be like without such blessings as our sight, hearing, taste, etc. Happy TT! -love, Laurie
ReplyDeleteOh I haven't the heard the ocean in many many years...maybe one day again....

ReplyDeleteHow easy it is to take our sight for granted. Thanks for focusing on this today. A good friend told me that her daughter just found out that her new baby is blind! They are now having to learn how to deal with this and adjust everything in their lives to help their precious little one. We need to count our blessings.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome list! I loved reading it - makes me think of the things I've looked at over the last week or two and to be grateful for some of those things I might have passed right by... Blessings!
ReplyDeleteA hearty AMEN!! And not just my physical sight, but my spiritual eyesight as well.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely day and that you're not feeling so behind the 8 ball. Not a fun feeling, that's for sure.
Love in Christ,
Patti
That's an awesome list. We have a maltese too and her name is Madison.
ReplyDeleteGod is good and I'm thankful for life! All of it! That constantly reminds me He is there! Like your profile says He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Saying a prayer for your friend as well. May God keep His hand on all of them during this stressful time!
In His amazing grace,
Jill
PS Your family and grandchildren are beautiful!
That is one of those things that is easy to forget to be thankful for each day! Thanks for the reminder. God bless you. Thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to be thankful for! I am thankful for my sight also, as I get older and my vision is not quiet as good as it was, it really makes me aware of how blessed we are to have our sight. Thanks~happy thankful Thursday
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by - so true about the joy of sight. I too am thankful for being able to enjoy and soak in His creation! Blessings!
