What's your elephant?

Maybe you have a monkey on your back, are hoping pigs fly, or need to eat an elephant. Whatever burdens weigh you down, you are certainly not alone. Join me as I jump right in to eating my zoo of elephants, one bite at a time.

Sending Flowers to God

I'm a note sender. I send get-well notes and missed-you notes and especially thank-you notes. I love the latter. I hope that my tiny inscription brightens someone's day as much as they brightened mine when they did whatever it was that made me feel special. When someone goes that extra mile(s), I send a gift like flowers.

Yesterday I was overwhelmingly blessed by God in a visible way. (I know we are blessed all the time by things we just don't notice or don't even know about). I mean, it was if God was just pouring and pouring and pouring out more than my mind could hold.

How do I thank God for that? I felt I needed to thank Him an equal amount as was the blessing. But, that seemed impossible.

God, how do I thank you?
I can't send you flowers - You created them.
I can't write you a note - You inspired the very Word.
I can't bake you cookies - You are the Bread of Life.


Lord, what do you want from me to show you just how overwhelmed I am? I know you don't give us blessings to bribe us to do something for you, but if I can do anything, let me know!
