Giving Thanks For 2015
Dear God; I was sitting here and begin remembering,
So many of the blessings You gave In 2015.
Most of this year my water pump in the car did not work;
You sent along a lady who paid to have if fixed; and she was not from the church.
When I had no money to pay the utility bill and my husband did not get his pension.
You allowed the lights to stay on and no one requested an extension.
Though once by the City I was told the lights were disconnected;
Went home, hit the switch and had the unexpected.
The lights were still on no matter what the report,
I shouted thank You and hallelujah all through the Heavenly Court.
Some of my co-workers said You told them to give me money,
This brighten up my day and kept me feeling sunny.
Though I was about to be evicted, thought I was going to lose my home
You showed Yourself mighty, You showed Yourself strong.
You changed the Landlord's mind in such a special way;
I give You the honor and the glory, and I still have a place to stay.
I thank You for giving favor and increasing my faith this year;
I give You all the praise and will ever hold You near.
I can't count all the blessings, I can't name them one by one.
But I certainly thank You for all You have done.
