What am I thankful for...

We have had a great time in the youth group.
This past Sunday we studied "Gratitude and Grace". I am aware that each one of these could easily provide a month's worth of curriculum, but youth tend to get bored.
I asked several questions to the youth group:
"What is the coolest gift you ever received?"
"Have you ever realized how good something was once it was taken from you?"
"What are you grateful for?"
I mentioned how I was grateful for carpet upon my return from a mission trip to Honduras in the summer of 1998.
Now I am grateful for my ring finger on my right hand. No, I didn't lose it; I broke it.
This has been an interesting month.
A guy hit a line shot to the outfield, I was sure it would fall.
It kept screaming towards me in the air, I realized I had a shot to make a play and catch it. I reverted back to fundamentals using two hands to catch the ball. By the time I was in the path of the ball, I realized the ball wasn't spinning, giving it a knuckling effect. I made the catch but misjudged the ball, and the ball smashed into my throwing hand then into my glove.
So, I am thankful for my ring finger of my right hand. It has already taken my an hour to type this out, and my video game career is put on hold.

At least until Tuesday...
