Gratitude in the details

A lot of posts I have read in the last day have focused on blessing because it is American Thanksgiving. This is not a tradition or holiday here, though I wanted to mention how much we can express gratitude to God. Not generalities but specifics. And even within specifics more specificity.

Take a simple pleasure like warmth. I really like warmth. But how many ways does God allow me to take pleasure in this one simple sense. I am grateful for

• A warm bath
• A warm fire on a cold night
• A hot meal for dinner
• A warm wife to hold in bed
• A warm spa outside on a snowy day
• Nerves that sense temperature and a brain that interprets nerve signals as warmth
• That God invented such a pleasure as warmth so that his creatures can enjoy it

God's gifts are not only expansive all the way up, they are expansive all the way down.
