Thankful
Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
~ Psalm 75:1
I am thankful to God, his provision, his love, his grace.
I am thankful for family and loved ones.
I am thankful for my children under one roof filling the house with love and laughter.
I am thankful for moms and dads with no limits to their love.
I am thankful for friends far and near, who never feel that far away.
I am thankful for safety.
I am thankful for the piano playing and the guitar strumming.
I am thankful for God’s beautiful earth and that he gave me the gift of appreciating it.
I am thankful for pink fairy orchids, even though I’ve never seen one.
I am even thankful for kitten’s whiskers against my cheek first thing in the morning.
We’ve been given much. Every day should be Thanksgiving.
I live in New Zealand and we don’t have Thanksgiving – but perhaps we should. It is such a beautiful tradition to keep. Instead we just have the consumption of Christmas next month 😉 Some of my younger siblings don’t realize what they have – they are so used to just getting everything, and being able to get everything.
nice poem and nice pix, thanks
