Kevin Smith "Simple Pleasures", being thankful.

Simple Pleasures.

The other day I was studying with a friend and she commented, while she was eating saltine crackers, how they are so tasty and for her they're simple pleasures. I don't particularly like them, but hey to each his (or her) own, right?? So I began to think about what are simple pleasures that I personally really enjoy. So I'm just going to gather a list of some on here and share them with you all. All of these have been gathered over a few days time.

1.) Walking on lush green grass. Have you ever realized amazing it is and how great it feels? Not every place around the world has grass like your front yard, so don't take it for granted.

2.) Taking a warm shower. It is so good! And you get clean while doing it.

3.) Seeing sunshine pour through the leaves of a tree. It's beautiful, and sadly I don't appreciate it as much as I should.

4.) The feeling of walking into an air conditioned house to escape the heat of day. Brilliant.

5.) Making a Friend laugh. And laughing with them

A few of these things like air conditioning and showers aren't possible in some places of the world. I just want to recognize these simple pleasures and persistently remind myself that I have been blessed by God. Every single good and pleseant thing i've experienced in my life is because of Him.
Psalm 34:8

"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."
