The Written Word

I suppose as a writer it would be only natural for me to be thankful for the written word.  Without the written word, we writers would be in want... wretched, woeful want.  (I couldn’t resist.)  

The written word has so many uses.  We use it to convey our thoughts and to be known by others.  We use it to write instructions.  We detail our desires in wish lists, or in wills for posterity.  We express love or encouragement in letters, teach on various subjects, lose ourselves in stories, learn about our Savior, or simply revel in the art of the written word (whether visual or intellectual).

I am thankful that God created it for us, or we would have a much harder time locating the knowledge (or the fiction) that we seek.  Finding the right person is much harder than finding the right book.
