Blessings - 1

Sunlight pours through the window Caressing my thoughts so intimately A gentle whisper of God’s affection Soothing, illuminating His direction Rain falls soft on my soul, praying For the kind rainbow after the storm Delighting, exciting, raising up hope For another day, a new way, tomorrow Roses, lilacs, dandelions too… Rise up from the earth, nourished By the light of sun, the rain’s love Brightening lives with their blooms Moon, stars, fireflies too… Bursting through the darkness Coloring the night in hues of dreams Silencing the flames of failure and doubt Robin and wren, butterflies so wild… Paint the morning in psalms of joy Inspiration that awakens the mercies Of laughter sung across the rise of dawn Dewdrops slide like elastic grace Across a petal, a leaf, a spider’s web Imagining the night where it grew to be The miracle of beauty breathing intimately Kindness cascades down my life Inspiring me to believe, to reach out To give generously and intentionally With love that showers me with sensitivity My blessings never cease to be cherished As treasures for which I am so thankful God is the best giver and His gifts are Bigger than any that we might give His gifts come from the very hope That awakens His passion for bounteous giving I’ve never felt so blessed before And I know each day only brings more To be thankful for – God is so good! I need to Thank Him forevermore!
