God's Will

The phone is turned off The kindling is gathered The sun shines through colored leaves Music plays, moving my soul As I look at the tapestry of my life I pray and I am heard I sigh in relief from validation I am grateful, oh so grateful For everything I have and Special friends, special pets A candle burns, flickering through glass As I watch it, I see all I've accomplished in life, Light up like a path of bright landmarks Many things people haven't understood But, I'm so thankful I could do the right thing I try to do things according to God's will - this is all that matters - Heidi Sands 10/4/23

That would be nice for you to enjoy it on the inside of your gratitude journal. Thank you for letting me know. I do a gratitude jar a year. I put a gratitude note in daily , then read them at the end of the year . Happy New Year :)

Thank you very much Vijay. I have to go to the phone store. Since the testing alert my phone is messed up and I can't make phone calls, text or upload photos from clipboard, etc I hope you have a good day :)
