Thank You

Thank you...

for light

for strength

for being constant

for the gift of children

for the opportunity to grow in selflessness

for the opportunity to love unconditionally

to be able to see perfection in what You make

for warmth

for things like socks, jackets, blankets...fires

thank you for a roof over my head

a bed to lay in

for food to eat, everyday...for every meal

coffee in the mornings

tea at night

plus snacks

thank you for providing

Thank you so much God for laughter

for eyes looking up to the heavens

for clouds and sunshine and rain

thank you

for rosy cheeks

kisses

for hope, for dreams

for joy

thank you that you are near in the sad times

that you know our thoughts before we even think them

and love us anyway and every way

thank you for family

for a strong husband who is always good to me

for walks and talks and gravel in shoes and scrapes on knees and for feeling that we are alive

thank you for the dust on my hands

the smell of the earth

the song in my head that sings

"Great is Your Faithfulness"

and 

"What a Friend We Have in Jesus"

and

"As I Went Down to the River to Pray...."

Thank you for a month to remember being thankful.
