His Precious Gift

Life is so ironic, it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence. ~ Anonymous I’m thankful for the rainfall Leaking through a hot summer sky The reflection of kindness Twinkling in a friend’s eyes The laughter and smiles found On a crowded playground The joy inside my heart and soul As dreams light my thoughts I’m thankful for the stars that shine In darkness filled with hope The sense of peace I find inside When I’m caring for a young child The music of faith that blends with grace As I caress a flower with a teary kiss The excitement and passion I feel in my spirit When heaven pores out its blessings I’m thankful for the hues of sunshine radiating Across the mountains and beaches and memories The lavender praise that falls from my lips As whispers of dewdrops crawl on my visions The miracle of a love that breathes promises into me Inspiring me to give from the gratitude within The healing and hoping, the sensations of joy That ride my thoughts in waves of tenderness I’m thankful for the most humble caress Of a kind word or a faithful expression The glow of kindness filling up my soul As heaven opens up and pours blessings galore The sense of assurance that comes from knowing Love this alive is meant to bring satisfaction The blending of scents, prayers and essences Creates a finely laid plan for wonderful imaginations I’m thankful for God’s love – His mercy – His grace I’m thankful for the words that remind me that I’m saved I’m thankful for His plan – His creation – His gifts The promise of a home where I will forever live I’m thankful for the moments, mysteries and myths I’m thankful for the music that reveals His melody I’m thankful for the One who gave me everything I am The gift of His presence is more than I could have hoped for! I’m thanking God for His precious love and His precious Son
