Nothing is Random
There's nothing random about noticing a beautiful sunset or an extra delicate flower with the morning dew drops. There's nothing random about an extra beautiful song from a bird or a stranger’s smile or helping hand. There's nothing random about feeling your thirst quenched or the exciting smell of a cup of coffee at the top of the day. Ther's nothing random during a really bad day the touch of fur on your leg as your dog or cat brushes by and cuddles up comforting you. There's nothing random about the sound of the morning in your home or the quiet evenings as everyone has turned in for the night. There's nothing random about the sense of awe we feel when we hear the sound of the surf or see the color as it glistens. There is nothing random about seeing a shooting star. All these things reflect God’s love for us. He is writing us a love story full of reliability, consistency, and unimaginable uncontainable love. We each experience it individually and uniquely because He loves us as his one and only. This means what you notice standing from the same vantage point is not what I would notice. These gifts are unique to us. Our Heavenly Father is passionate about each of us. He is continually reaching out and touching us through his creation with these planned and specifically noticeable gifts. I dare you to choose to live thankfully and write them down daily in a journal morning and night. When we write them down it is like unwrapping God’s love for us. It brings glory to our Creator. To name these things is to reveal the essence of God’s heart for giving gifts. Our gratitude draws us into the heart of God.

- My husband hands me a brimming, foam overflowing cup of cappuccino.
- As I walk the dogs, I see the dew dripping from the spring blossoms.
- I breathe in and smell the citrus orchard across the way.
- A small bird is singing a beautiful song.
- I drop my echinacea bottle, but it lands on my fuzzy slipper and doesn’t shatter across the floor.
- A glass of wine at night with my husband which tastes like it is straight from Jesus Cellar.
Psalm 104
AMP Translation
1 Praise the Lord, my soul.
Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. 2 The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent 3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind. 4 He makes winds his messengers,[a] flames of fire his servants. 5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. 6 You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
