Thanking Higher Than I Ought

Meant to type "thinking" in the title

But "thanking" happened instead

It's either Southern drawl, ya'll, or a Freudian slip

Anyway, thanking does sound better

I originally wanted to downgrade and write
That, erroneously, I really do think higher than I ought

That, yet again, my eyes are opening and I see

The not-so-good in me

It's true. Delusion is, as delusion does

Thinking higher

Woe, is me

Sometimes insight isn't insight at all

So, now I face scary reality
Deny no more, feel the pain, and then feel His great love

There. Done.
After many tears. Let it be

Curiously, to unintentionally type

What should have been written

To keystroke "thanking" rather than "thinking"

Certainly it can't be, but yet it is

One can thank highly and higher and still forget their reflection

So the slip might actually be a tender shoulder tap

Just the gentle nudge that I need
To see failure before I can succeed

Thanking differently

Forget thinking higher than I ought

Outside of the boundaries, pressing past the things I wish were not

Forging through to see the good, the true, and the beautiful

Perfectionist is, as perfectionist does. Stop it

Grateful is, as grateful does

Thankful is, as thankful does

Thanking higher than I ought? I hope not

I thank the Higher One, for family, friends, and other blessings
And He sincerely responds "You're welcome"...
but also, "I am sorry for your pain"
Keep pressing through to thank, and embrace the gain
