First 100 Gifts

"I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the child-like." ~ Matthew 12:25

I read this today preparing for scripture study and the first thought that came to mind was my gratitude journal. I cannot help but wonder how many times my eyes saw these gifts, but my heart failed to give praise, so I didn't really see them. I do feel more like a child. I'm learning to see the world in His Light. My steps are a littler easier these days & my worries feel lighter. I thank you, Lord, for opening my heart & soul to these first 100 Gifts. Lord, give me the grace to always see your mighty works with the wonder & awe of child.
