Thankful

Days are shorter than before
Give thanks before the light slips away

Reveal in me a new spirit
Thankful always in all!

Remembrance of your blessings on my family.
Guidance into a hopeful life, eternal vision.

Remade to live forever
Fare well earthly treasures

Welcomes everlasting!

Grateful dead, yet still alive. A hopeful spirit lives to survive. God's grace in daily prayer and thought. Is all we have for what we've fought.

Yes. we should be thankful for all we are given. It is the everlasting treasure we hope to achieve. Each day is a blessing. I was watching you tube and looking at some of the beautiful scenery we have in this world. I wonder how many really take the time to look and see the beauty around us. love phyl
