I just appreciate knowing Him so much even though I don't deserve it.

I don't deserve my house, my home, The things You've given me. I don't deserve my food or clothes, The breath breathed into me. I don't deserve the many things, With which You've filled my life. Of all the pleasures I have known, I've oft seen only strife. Instead of counting blessings, It's the curses that I see. Instead of all that gives me joy, I count the misery. I don't deserve the things You do, The things done just for me. I'm blessed above most people. I'm rich beyond their dreams. I don't deserve such blessings; The things I've seen You do. I don't deserve such freedom, Lord. I don't deserve You.

God wants it for you so you DO deserve it. Also the fact that you think about this, shows that you are a worthy person. I sure like this poem.

The best thing we can give our Lord in return for His endless blessings, is our undying love. A beautiful poem, Judy. Kindest Regards, Evelyn

You're certainly right, Judy None of us, none, deserve the riches we have --- i.e., the breath of life, not to mention vision, hearing, sense of touch, taste, smell, etc. All we can do is appreciate the incredible bounty bestowed upon us and praise G-d for delivering on His end of the bargain. Light and Love, Gershon
