No reminders are necessary...though appreciated. I am well aware that each moment of life is an incredible gift. I know all too well that each heartbeat is precious. I have seen life enter this world. I have seen life depart this world. My journey has reminded me repeatedly to never, ever take a second of life for granted.
The reality of life also delivers the truth that although each day is certainly priceless, some days are more challenging than others. Some days, it seems I am dancing through a field of flowers, with a full orchestra playing in the background. Other days, I seem to be dragging through a mud pit, and that's just the first obstacle of the day. We all have them. Good days. Bad days. Decent days. Unimaginable days. Unbelievable days. Victorious days. Blindsided days. Yet all are days we are given to embrace and honor Him.
Maybe it's just me. Maybe not. There are days I wonder if I may have given God a tiny reason to smile. There are many more days I am certain He shakes His head in frustration as He watches me mess up...again.
How precious to know that He somehow still loves me each day, no matter how it unfolds! I am so thankful of that reminder when I am allowed to open my eyes each morning, take another breath and begin a new chapter in my life story. Whether the orchestra is playing, the flowers are blowing in the breeze or the mud is splattering all over me with each step I take, I am thankful. As long as He allows me one more heartbeat, He has given me yet another moment to walk closer to Him...and with Him.♥~thl
