This morning when I awoke, my eyes delivered the light and colors and the full panorama of the room, as my mind, bright and quick began to think. Just for today, I will not take those blessings for granted.
As I arose from bed, my body lifted itself upright and I stood on my feet and began to walk. Just for today, I will not take those blessings for granted.
In the kitchen, the lights went on with the flip of a switch, as the heater warmed the room, and there was a refrigerator filled with food and there was fresh water to drink. Just for today, I will not take those blessings for granted.
As I sat down to eat, the love of my life, my beautiful wife Anne joined me to share in that meal and some cordial conversation. Just for today, I will not take those blessings for granted.
How often we take such blessings for granted, blessings many others wish they had, even if for a day.
If I am extremely fortunate, I will be here tomorrow, and if so and I again have those blessings, I will be thankful and not take any of them for granted.
