Something emailed to me recently by Shirley Choat; gives us something for which to be thankful:
 
 
What an awesome and orderly God we  have!
 
 For example:
 
 -the eggs of the  potato bug hatch in 7 days;
 -those of the canary in 14  days;
 -those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
 -The eggs  of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
 -those of the mallard in 35  days;
 -The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in
  42 days.
 (Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the
  number of days in a week!)
 
 God's wisdom is seen in the  making of an
 elephant. The four legs
 of this great  beast all bend forward in the same direction.
 No other
 quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would
 have a  huge body,
too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave  it
 four fulcrums so
 that it can rise from the ground  easily.
 
 The horse rises from the ground on its two  front
 legs first.
A cow rises from the ground with its  two hind legs first.
How wise the Lord is
 in all His  works of creation!
 
 God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of
 sections and
 segments, as well as in  the number of grains.
 
 -Each watermelon has an even  number of stripes
 on the rind.
 -Each orange has an  even number of segments.
 -Each ear of corn has an even number of  rows.
 -Each stalk of wheat has an even number of
  grains.
 -Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an
 even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row
 has an even number and the next row an odd number.
 
 -The waves of the sea roll in on shore
 twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather.
 
  All grains are found in even numbers on the
 stalks, and the Lord
 specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a
  hundredfold - all even numbers.
 
 God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain
 specified times during the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist,
 once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil,
 moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by
 the  flowers that were open and those that were closed!
 
  Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange
 the life that is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will
 carry out
 His purposes and plans, and will be fragrant with His  presence.
 
 The lives of each of you may be ordered by the
 Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him
 with your life.
If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess
 and a failure.
 
Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can 
 successfully guide them to a profitable end.
 
 Only the God-planned safe life is successful.
 Only the life given over to the care of  the Lord is fulfilled.
