Hello my sweet friends, praying that God blessed you all with a wonderful week. This week Iris has chosen the topic 5 senses, how precious. I am grateful for taste, without it I could not enjoy my delicious hot chocolate with tons of tiny marshmallows every morning. Yummy in my tummy. I am grateful for touch, without it, I would miss out on the precious touch of my lovebugs hand in mine, there is nothing sweeter. I am grateful for the sense of smell, especially this time of the year. Gingerbread cookies, pumpkin pie, turkey cooking in the oven, woo hoo!! Just smelling all the goodies makes me gain weight, lol I am grateful for hearing, without it, I would have missed hearing my dear Saviour call me to His heart, and all the times He tells me He loves me. Also, I would have missed hearing my lovebug tell me he loves me, and asking me to marry him. Those two voices are a sweet, healing balm to my soul. But, even if I lost my hearing, I would forever hear them with my heart. Last, but certainly not least, I am grateful for my sight. Due to my diabetes, my vision is very poor. Everything looks blurry, and very smeared. They hurt constantly, but I can still see for now. I am legally blind, but that is ok with me. As my eye vision has grown dim, my heart vision has grown stronger, and brighter. I see people, and things, as they truly are. It is a beautiful gift from God to see the heart, not the outward shell. I am grateful for all the senses that You have blessed me with dear Lord, I love You.

Second.... Yummy in my tummy...... Girl, you make me smile.
Also, know that I pray for you and your Diabetes. My mother also suffers the affect of this disease.
Love you girl. Have a fantastic TT.
Beautifully said. I truly enjoyed your view and great appreciation for the 5 senses.
Happy TT!!!
Thank you for posting from your heart and life. As I read your post, I was praising God for giving us our senses to experience all He has lavished upon us.
Just found your blog on LWG blogroll and thought I'd pop in to say hey!!

I love you and your precious Thankful post!
beautiful list of thankfuls, denise. you're in my prayers. ♥
Wonderful list!
I am so happy to hear that I'm not the only one who thinks about this! I literally praise God for allowing me to have all 5 of my senses. Every time I see a blind person or deaf person I am reminded of what a blessing they are.

All I can say is.. AMEN, sista!
I am thankful to get to know you a bit. I am glad you are at peace with your vision.

I too am thankful for the 5 senses. Praying for your strength to manage diabetes. I know how hard it is at times as my own mom too is battling with it. Hugs to you.

Wonderful thankful post. Thank God for giving us the 5 senses to enjoy Him and His blessings. Your blog's new look is beautiful! Remembering you in prayers.Take care!
What a BEAUTIFUL page! I love the mini-marshmallows!! mmmmmm and pumpkin pie....
Thank you for sharing your list!
We use our 5 senses every single day, but I always take them for granted. I love what you said about your sight. Although it is sad that your vision is not what it used to be, you have images edged in your heart for eternity...
Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart with us.
Be blessed today and always.
Thank you for posting your thoughts about your vision. My husband was born legally blind, and he often feels sorry for himself. I live my life to look at the positive in everything, but he does not see the positive. Through the power of technology (bioptics) he is now able to drive, he can SEE (more than some people can say), etc. etc. And I find myself reminding him of this often. I will be sharing your post with him. It is a very nice sentiment.
Your posts always warm my heart, Denise. I love you and hope you have an awesome Thankful Thursday!
This was a great post to have the opportunity to do. We are so blessed to have the bodies He has given us..what creativity!
And I will agree with you on taste and smell at this time of year...oh my goodness can you imagine what the feast in heaven is going to be like?
Love ya girl
Thank you for the sweet reminder to "see with my heart".
Your blog is one of may favorite stops on TT.

Denise...I love your heart. The sweetness oozes out and covers me like honey! You make me smile girl. Blessings on your day.
That is nice entries thanks for sharing...TC
Your passion flows for our Lord. Loved your senses post. So sorry to know your vision continues to dim, but love your heart and how you shine brightly.
Lord, please restore Denise's vision.
You are precious!
Blessings friend.
Oh I have enjoyed reading the posts regarding the five senses...what wonderful ways to count our blessings!
What a beautiful post!! I really enjoyed reading your TT!! God bless you!!
I enjoyed reading your posts!
I love your posts. Today you made me think of how our sense of smell brings back so many memories that stir our hearts. The smell of Dial soap always reminds me of my nana and papa's seaside cottage.
I was just thinking about how thankful I am for my senses, especially lately with fall in the air. But you're right: our heart sense is the best gift of all.
You love some of the same foods I do!!
You have a very sweet heart! Hugs Grams
what a beautiful posting! thank you for sharing your heart♥
Thanks for sharing why you're thankful for each of your senses. Have a great day!
Beautiful TT post Denise. I always enjoy reading your thoughts.
God was so good when he gave we humans these senses!! I would really hate being blind..I guess of all of my senses I would not like that one. But if that is what God wants for me I would have to accept it. Great post...
Wow; you blew me away! As your eye vision has grown dim, your heart vision has grown stronger and brighter. Those are powerful words! And it provides me with something to really think about. How easy it is to take for granted our senses. God bless you.
Wonderful list Denise, and I love your new look!
oh WOW! What a beautiful post! Thank you for sharing! And thank you for always having encouraging comments! It's amazing to know you are being used despite your limitations. May the Lord continue to bless you!
Bless your sweet heart, a wonderful and delightful list.
As always, your TT post made me smile. I will pray for you and your diabetes. I'm diabetic as well. For now, my sight is corrected with glasses. Someday I may be in your boat. God bless you for your strong, thankful, loving heart.
Denise,
Beautifully written. Thank you for being a friend and for sharing your life with me.
Love,
Jean
Prayers for you always...thanks for the visit.

What a beautiful post, Denise. God has indeed given us a great gift in our 5 senses. It's so great to see your wonderful appreciation of them!
