Being Grateful

  Today as I was watching a video explaining how to make it easier for wheelchair users to do transfers from their wheelchairs to different places, i.e, bathtub, I realized again how blessed I am to have the mobility that I have. Many people with Spina Bifida are completely paralyzed from the waist down, some even from the chest down.

  I have some feeling and quite a bit of movement in my legs, and I can bare weight in order to do my transfers. I may fall more often than I used to, but all in all, I'm really independent.

  There are many people in this world who are much worse off than I am with their health, and if it isn't health, there are other ways people are worse off than me.

  So, I guess the moral of this story is, be thankful for what you have.

  Have you ever had a moment where you realized, "Hey, my life isn't as bad as I often think it is."?

Why Me Lord?

Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged in such a long time. I just ran out of things to blog about. I'm still getting the hang of blogging, and what I should focus on blogging about. Anyway, I recently wrote another poem, and I thought I would share it with anyone who reads my blog posts. Here it is.

Why Me, Lord?

Why me, Lord?

What did I ever do?

To deserve Your mercy

To be given Your Grace.

You know what I've done

Every single detail

Yet You love me anyway.

Why me, Lord?

I can never repay You

Never thank You enough

For saving my wretched soul

For making me whole.

So I'll spend the rest of my life

Doing Your will as best I can

Until the day I see Your face

In that bright Glory Land

For it is then

In the presence of my Saviour

That my eyes will be opened

To the fullness of Your love.

Another poem might be in the works soon, so stay tuned. In the meantime, let me know what you think about this last poem.
