Giving Thanks

One day a year is not enough time
to list my many blessings
so here in a blog I share my thoughts in a rhyme

I think of these blessings a few times each day
and to Him give thanks that he loves me this much
for with these blessings he asks not of me to repay

For When God gives, he also takes away, but the sun always shines a new
This, I have learned, is a great gift he has shared
His loves pour out each day, each day his blessings are true

Together, with one, we now make three
what a wonderful blessing of my little Family
I bring my praises to God, and hope he is proud of Me

A house, a job, clean clothes on our backs
a warm bed, food, and love
So many more blessings, it's hard to keep track

But if we count them at least once each and every day
God smiles upon us and our remembering of him
and his blessings rain down in a new and loving way.

Happy Thanksgiving to My friends and family. For I love you all, and count you a blessing each and every day. May God's light shine upon you today, tomorrow, and the days that follow.
