I was in class today and the question was asked, "Which of your five senses would you have the hardest time living without?" and it really made me think. In light of everything that goes on in life, and the difficulties I may experience this of all questions really made me think. There are reasons I would hate to not have all five of my senses, be it hearing loss to not be able to hear my family or sight to not be able to see a smile; there are reasons for each one. While thinking about this question it made me realize that I may be dealing with difficulties in life, but the reality is I am so blessed! In all the difficulties I can still hear my girls laughing (and arguing), I can still see the smile on my wifes face when I come through the door, I can still smell her perfume which tells me she is trying to smell good for me, I can still taste her great home made pizza and I can still feel.
Maybe today is a day for me not to think about which sense I would hate to loose the most, but more a day for me to realize that in spite of some difficulties I am so very blessed. As I heard someone say once the reality is God is good ALL the time! I think it is all together possible that in this question God wants me to stop and hear Him say "stop thinking things are not good and realize just how good you have it!"
How frustrating life can be when we allow Satan to derail us from seeing all the blessings God has placed in our lives. I think about counseling and what it can do and I realize that we need more people in life to stop thinking about what is going wrong in our lives and start realizing what is all going right! God is calling out from the heavens, "I have already blessed you so much in life if you would just step aside and see what I have done you will be overwhelmed by my goodness." I know today I just need to get out of God's way.
