Days of PURPOSEFUL Thankfulness – Day #10


Note: Refer to day number 1 (July 25, 2015 post) if you don’t know what this is all about.

Sense of smell. Earlier this year in January I was standing in gasoline pumping gas and did not know it; I thought it was water from the rain.  Due to a chronic sinus condition (didn't know it was chronic until this incident) I couldn't smell the gasoline. The gas attendant noticed me and ran out to tell me. But it was too late of course to stop. He had to be attentively watching me because he ran back out when I was getting in my car to push me out without me starting my ignition. I was totally clueless. But God....  I can't tell you how many times I've been clueless about the danger I've been in. Who needs street smarts when you know The One who made the makers of the streets. J But I have to tell you that it was not until this incident that I quickly came to realize the true value of being able to do something as simple as smell. Come to think, it’s not so simple when your body refuses to do it and you are forced to go to a doctor to find out what’s going on. How "quickly" we forget God's faithfulness to those of us who though may fail at times choose to faithfully follow His plans. What do you need to remember today?
