appreciation

If you find yourself not being thankful for what you have, take steps to change. Go without food a couple of days and notice how much you appreciate a simple meal. Visit another country and gain a fresh appreciation for your land. A year with poor health gave me a new appreciation for the ability to simply live. I don’t want to take things for granted any more.

This week, the world remembers events we know are true: an innocent man being arrested in a garden, a carpenter’s son nailed to a cross, and a dead man coming back to life. Could we even imagine how dark this world would be if these things had not taken place? May we never lose appreciation.

This afternoon, Taylor and I leave with a group from school to visit the Czech Republic. We hope to share the life of Jesus with people who may not know Him. I won’t get to write next week. May Easter bring you much joy and hope as we thank God for His miracles.

“Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever . Amen!” (Revelation 7:12)
