A Sweet Smelling Savor

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen......
Lord, lord, lord. Protect me from the consequences of the above prayer.
 ~Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless

I was at work one day and feeling pretty good. Having practically no pain is such a blessing. I was in the staff room when I said, "Thank you Jesus, I really appreciate you." A co worker was standing there and I nearly jumped out of my skin when she spoke. "Who are you talking to?" She asked.
"Jesus," I smiled- panting somewhat, "I was just thanking Him for this wonderful day."
"You thank Him?"
"Sure."
"For a wonderful day?"
"Of course."
"Oh....I only call on Him when I am in trouble."
At first I laughed because I thought she was joking. She wasn't.
I don't know or pretend to understand everyone's relationship with the Lord. I am by no means perfect. In my own understanding and love for Jesus I wouldn't want Him to be a fair weather friend to me. I  look at the flowers and they appear to praise Him each morning. I consider it a privalege to praise Him-in all the seasons of my life. I want my prayers to be edifying and give off a sweet smelling savor to Him.
Lord, in my heart, I truly wish to be thankful to you in all situations and keep a good spririt. Even when the hour seems darkest you will still let me see the stars....
