One Returned to Say Thanks

I need no reminder for what I do everyday nor a special season for what I take stock of daily.  But oddly enough, on the days that are set apart and highlighted on a calendar in bold font, my daily efforts are magnified and what I do everyday becomes exceptional. 

...and with the same thanks that I give, I feel appreciated in return. 

I'm thankful: 
...for the discomfort of never being able to settle.  For the hurts that come those closest.  For the failures and the expectation of failures.  I'm thankful for the truth and the authenticity of a lie.  I'm thankful for being able to prove myself wrong.  I'm thankful for humility.  I'm thankful for never truly being alone.  I'm thankful for endless miracles.  I'm thankful for the courage to put myself in the need of a miracle.  I'm thankful for access to request miracles.  I'm thankful for sight, for the both the visible and invisible.  I'm thankful for do-overs.  I'm thankful for grace and forgiveness.  I'm thankful for examples and exceptions.  I'm thankful for the intelligent design of my being.  I'm thankful for a plan and the opportunities that await. 

I'm thankful for Jesus. 

Thank you.
