I'm thankful for my body. I'm thankful that I have ten fingers and ten toes, two legs that move well most of the time, two arms that can work hard, eyes that see beauty and everything else, ears that hear the sounds of life, a mouth that speaks and eats (though both occupations tend to get me in trouble), a belly that has been home to my babies. I'm thankful for the body parts inside that perform not so pleasant, but necessary tasks, my shoulders that many a child has cried on, and my feet that move and dance for the glory of the King.
I'm thankful that my body is beautiful and that I can control it and move it and use it to accomplish my tasks of life.
Thank you, O God, for my body and thank you for taking on a body of your own. Bless my body and enable me to serve you well with it.
(As I was writing this Daily Thanks I thought of this post by Seth.)

I'm thankful for your body, too. Your tow arms that hug, your mouth that speaks encouragement and love, your hands that cook, your belly that was home to three wonderful children...
