I received this in my Inbox a couple of days ago from my little sister. This isn’t something I wrote, I can’t take credit for this one, I believe that everyone needs to read it tho … especially since she is the one who wrote it.

THE TOP TEN LIST
By: Miami CHYK

I was recently walking through the grocery’s greeting card aisle when I came across the thank you cards. Originally looking for birthday cards, I thought this would be a great opportunity to thank the one who has been my life. Most of what I saw was “Thank you, Mom” or “Thanks for your hospitality…” This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I decided whom the card was going to. Greeting Card companies don’t usually make thank you cards directed to God. What I wanted would go something like this:

TOP TEN THINGS I THANK YOU FOR:
10. The clothes and food You constantly provide me with.
9. The laughs and smiles I’m blessed to share with those greater than I.
8. Your love, for without it I would be nothing.
7. The problems that serve as the slap in the face telling me that life isn’t always easy.
6. Coming down to my level to give me confidence to keep going.
5. The Knowledge You’ve given me that has, in turn shattered the doubts and worries that plague my life.
4. Your patience and dedication in helping me realize that it’s ok if it takes time and my search is not going unnoticed.
3. The inspiration You’ve charged me with.
2. The spark of divinity that You’ve guide me into finding
AND
1. Such remarkable influences (gurus) in my life.

Each as important as the other, truthfully, none of these statements should really have a number. In light of thanking You for everything, I also want to say I am sorry. I am sorry for forgetting to pray before I eat and for sleeping before I pray. I am sorry for the mistakes I make before getting back on to track. I thank you for not holding it against me but instead redirecting me towards my goal of reaching You.

Thanks, God.
