Bountiful Blessings-My Savior

Bountiful Blessings…My Savior

Bountiful blessings have been bestowed; my gratitude grows greater. 
Abundantly appreciative am I to thee, Almighty Heavenly Father.
Thank you for this natural world wrought with many a marvelous wonder.
Thank you for the myriads of miracles that mysteriously made me shiver. 
Thank you for my simple style, such a sweet soul satisfier.
Thank you for enriching examples established by Thy Great Exemplar.
Thank you for lovely times in life, for lullabies, loves and laughter.
Thank you for my honey, so helpful, honorable, and a happy hugger.
Thank you for my children…each an intelligent, independent, and incredible giver.
Thank you for friends, foes, follies, and fun, for finding wisdom's flower. 
Thank you for a kaleidoscope of kindness and comforts Heavenly Father did deliver!
Thank you for good neighbors nearby…nurturing and not one an oppressor.
Eternal light soars in my life to that special spiritual space, to God, the forgiver.
Grateful am I for His good gifts and for Jesus, the greatest gift, my Savior.
