undeserved.

So I started thinking about it, and in the process of being thankful, since that seems to be a popular topic this time of the year. But I was thinking about what we have to be thankful for, what we take for granted. The fact of it is the things that we're thankful for are also the things that we don't deserve. I think a lot of time we believe we deserve much more than we actually do.

For instance:

We don't deserve, yet are granted, as a free gift straight-up out of his grace.

Today: gift. When we woke up: gift. The air we breathe, right now: gift.

Yesterday was a gift. When you got up and put pressure on your legs and they held you up: gift.

When you walked to the bathroom this morning: gift.

When you used the bathroom successfully: gift.

Having your food warm or hot: gift. Options with types of food: gift.

Groceries stores with 3 or more types of cereal: gift.

More to come later.
