Gratitude

Thank
you, God,
for people
other than our
family, who when
we meet, will greet us with
a pleasantry, and for those
few who give us love regardless
of our foibles. For each dear friend on
whom I can depend, I give gratitude.

For Deb's contest: give thanks

Nicely stated. Without our extended family (friends) our lives would be half empty.

When we aspire to be like Jesus. In our hearts, we know he sees us. For when we're kind to everyone. We'll go to heaven when we're done.
