I am genuinely thankful for each day.
Every day I open my eyes and realize I still have breathe,
I take a moment to say thank You, am truly grateful.
Every single minute between when I get off my bed in the morning
to when I return to it at night - I cherish.
I do not understand how sleeping and waking works.
I have no clue of what happens to me when I am asleep.
For all I know I might as well be dead.
Yet at the right time I rise.
The "right" time not the "set" time;
Because it isn't my alarm that wakes me.
Neither is it the heat, nor my neighbors' dogs.
I know am supposed to be educated,
And have also read the numerous scientific explanations and theories
But please...
Now I am learning to live my life to the fullest.
To take each day as my last
And squeeze every ounce of life out of it.
Really, what's the point of being cautious?
Why should I take care?
To what end?
I know each day is a gift.
I didn't buy it.
I don't even know how much it cost.
Didn't work for it.
Can't say I deserve it.
Also don't even know the qualifications required.
Or where to apply for it.
So really, who am I to say
"I'll do it tomorrow"
Or "I'll go later"
Who told me there would be a later for me?
What makes me think I have a tomorrow to even begin with?
Or that this wouldn't be my very last breathe?
Which insurance policy assures me of a tomorrow?
Grace!
Grace, that unmerited and often undeserved favour.
Wikipedia hits the bull's eye with it's definition:
Grace...the love and mercy given to us by God because He desires us to have it,
not necessarily because of anything we have done to earn it.
Its grace that has brought me this far.
It is what has kept me this long.
Its just God's grace
Lord, I know am not worth it
I know I mess up in epic proportions
But
I am thankful
Genuinely thankful
Thankful for your grace.
Yes the very one I do not deserve, yet enjoy
The one I did not work for or earn
That very one is what I say Thank you Lord for.
