I’m grateful for
AUTUMN and APPLES
For BEES, BOOKS and BOYS
For COUSINS and CHOCOLATE
For DAUGHTERS and DOLLS
For EAGLES, EGRETS and ELEPHANTS
For FRIENDSHIP and FRENCH FRIES
(I like those a bunch.)
Thank you for GIRLFRIENDS,
GRANDCHILDREN
and
long-necked GIRAFFES
For my HEALTH and
A HUSBAND who still
makes me laugh.
For INDIGO nights and INKY black cats,
For JUNE bugs and JUNK sales and
Bright-colored
JACKETS.
I give thanks for KITTIES and KITES,
For LOVE NOTES and LEISURE,
For MOONBEAMS and MUSHROOMS,
For NEPHEWS
and NIECES.
I’m grateful for ORANGES and OPTIONS,
For PRETTY PAPER and PENS,
For QUIET early mornings and
QUILTS to
snuggle in.
For RED breasted ROBINS and
Bandit
RACOONS
For SONS and
SONGS to SING out of tune
For TALL Christmas TREES and
TWINKLING lights
For VINEGAR,
VEGGIES and
VANILLA
extract
For WARM WINTER fires,
For X-RAYS and
ZEBRAS.
For all this and more that
You
generously give us,
I Thank You, Lord God.
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Psalm 34:8
