Blinding flash of the obvious: I thank God for the petty wants I seek (which may never be mine), for the needs I perceive...I ask for naught for in the thanking, I acknowledge that I have already been gifted with everything I need...the failure, then, to see it, to know it, is not God's to deliver but mine to realize...to believe in faith without seeing.
We are learning the art of acceptance through gratitude. And that is the discipline we must practice...to thank God for everything...every jot and tittle (and I never even knew what a jot or tittle was, but it didn't take a lot of smarts to figure it out). There. That's where we start...we quit trying to "figure it out."
For red lights when we're in a hurry, for green lights when it doesn't matter, for found money, for lost money, for all in between...thank you.
Thank you.
