How could I ask for more?

So I was inspired by a family member that enjoys sulking up the sun while laying on a comfi blanket in the soft grass...I tried it today and I'm HOOKED! I was sitting there feeling the warmth sink into me and the breeze carry me away, thanking God for such a beautiful creation He has made. A thought crossed my mind..."Lord, you do more than just sustain me, you amaze me!" Later on I read this chapter in Isaiah. It described all our Heavenly Father allowed his son, Jesus to go through. And I wonder with all this beauty, wonder, and loving sacrifice that's living in me...how could I ever ask for more?

Thank you Jesus for not only giving us what we needed, but unimaginably more!
"Despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief...we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. We all are like sheep that have gone astray; we have turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter...He was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people...There was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief."
Isaiah 53
