Here’s a thought for you to ponder. If you had to give up one of your five senses, which one would you choose? Sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch? A friend recently posed this question to me, and it really sent me deep into contemplation. Each one plays such a vital role in the richness and enjoyment of life. The moment I decided on one, I would change my mind after reflecting on the joys that particular sense supplies.
It brought home to me that I am incredibly blessed to still have all five. They all work together in intricate ways. Psalm 139 is certainly correct when it states “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
I know many folks who have lost one or more of their senses. Instead of being bitter, it seems to make them appreciate the ones they have left even more. There’s a great lesson to be learned from that.
Amen, there is one other sense…common.
