Today we have Kleenex. All over the house we have Kleenex. With lotion, without lotion. Traditional box, square box, little travel packets. Kleenex Kleenex everywhere. I am actually grateful for it because for some reason in Florida, my sinuses do funny things. Even if I don't have a cold, every morning, after my cup of coffee, there is a massive nose blowing.
[Time out for a joke- you only get one nose in life, so don't blow it.]
It sounds odd, but the other day after blowing my nose, I remembered the old days of handkerchiefs and I felt heartwarmingly grateful for Kleenex.
Just so you know, Kleenex was first used in America in 1924. It was marketed to women to remove facial cream. Some years later, they began running ads inviting people to use them instead of the handkerchief. Their slogan was, "don't carry a cold around in your pocket."
The next time that you think that you have nothing to be thankful for, remember the slimy disgusting hankies that your mom and dad would smash on your face and tell you to blow.
I am thankful for Kleenex.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
