This morning as I was driving to work, a school bus pulled in front of me. This usually does not happen because the bus usually runs earlier. I think everyone has the same universal feeling when this happens.
I am going to be so late because this bus is going to make a million stops and take forever loading kids.
Slight exageration, but I knew this was going to add a little time to my commute. Later during the drive, I remembered, God's protection over me works in ways I cannot imagine, and I should be thankful for school buses pulling out in front of me. What! Why?! I know, everything goes against allowing that to be the case but I am thankful. What if, God used that school bus to delay my trip in order that I would not be involved in an accident? I would be so grateful!
From this, I continued to think and then concluded, there must be so many more things I do not know about that I do not thank God for or even realize He is providing. The big thing, being every breath I take in of course. The ability to see... I wouldn't have been able to drive to work today, or even do my job if I could not see. And the list goes on.
I was thinking it would be interesting to have a place where I can write down, daily, one thing I am thankful to God for... either on the internet or at home... thinking more of a place at home. What would be even better is to have it programmed so that I could not write down the same thing twice in my lifetime... which would make me think more about what God provides.
Well, thank You God for school buses, and everything else You provide that I do not know of.
Readers, if you like, please share something or anything similar you are thankful for.
Grace and Peace! Joy in Christ! Blessings!
