Day 8 ~ Today I am thankful for...

Day 8 - Today I am thankful for... our senses

Last night when I was crawling into bed, there was a very unpleasant odor wafting through our open window. It was in direct contrast to the wonderful scent of the candle I had been burning earlier in the day. But it got me thinking about how thankful I am God created the five senses.Because of that I have enjoyed many things...

Through Taste -
Chocolate, bacon, spicy Mexican food, Grammy's spaghetti, tangy fruits, Cheese,
and did I mention chocolate??


Through Smell -
A meal being cooked, a rose, autumn scents, wood burning, perfumes and lovely soaps

Through Touch -
A hug, soft petals of a flower, the stickiness of making coconut candies,
textures on a piece of material

Through Sight -
The incredible beauty in nature, a basketball game, reading a good book, my husband's smile

Through Hearing -
Music, my children's laughter, encouraging words, rain against the window,
when someone special tells me they love me

These are just the first things that come to mind - but I'm thankful I get to enjoy them because of the gift of our senses.
