Five Minute Friday - Worship

I am not a church goer, or do I have an unending fountain of faith in my being.  So this is a hard topic for me.  Worship to me is synonomous with grateful.  I guess I tend to believe in a higher power, and for me that is enough right now. 

Worship to me is a beautiful sunset in the evening while holding my sweet little boy.  It is an early morning sunrise, while I drink my coffee and tell my son it is a good morning and what a beautiful day.  It is the early morning run, listening to my feet pound the pavement, and thanking God that I have two feet, and two legs that can pound the pavement, listening to the birds giving their wake up call.  Worship is those first few minutes when camping, that you are one with nature, and that something bigger than you is at work.  Worship is seeing my sweet baby for the first time, and thanking God that everything was okay. 

I don't need a church to pray. I pray and thank God for all that is good every time I see my sweet boy bend over and smell a flower.  Or tell me good morning in his little voice that is just learning to talk.  I see the miracles over and over, and sometimes I lose sight of what is really important. 

Now, today I am thankful that all is well in my world, even though there are still dishes to do, toys to pick up, a diaper to change.  We have a very small home, and it is always a mess.  I am thankful that there is a mess to pick up.
