142 - The ability to read

'Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.' (Psalm 119:18)

I am so, so grateful for the ability to read. Life would be very different without it.

I couldn't read my Bible (I'd only be able to hear it).

I wouldn't have the massive pile of books to read beside my bed.

I wouldn't be able to do GCSES, A-Levels, or a degree, let alone an English one.

So many stories lost...and there are many countries where people cannot receive the education they need to learn to read.

There are people who's minds cannot perform the processes needed to read.

I am blessed to have the means and ability to read.

Thank you God for both!
