“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” (Psalms 139:14).

When I get discouraged and overwhelmed by problems, I try to start thanking God for the things I do have. Even the simple things like my five senses. There are so many people in this world who would give anything to see a beautiful landscape or the faces of their children, hear rain on a tin roof or tender words of love from their spouse or children, smell fragrant roses or bread baking, taste chocolate or a home-cooked meal, or feel the softness of a kitty’s fur or the tenderness of a baby’s skin. We are astonishingly wealthy just having our five working senses—don’t you agree?

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. ~Psalms 19:14
