Thank You

As i come before you today Father I want to thank you for my life...
You have given me so many blessings and topped it off with a wonderful
wife.

I thank you for the kids and grand kids and for the memories we build
each day...
And the fun of watching them as they grow and play.

I thank you for my job and the privilege to serve each day...
And I am also thankful for the problems that make me stop and pray.

Thank you for my wife's job and the roof over our heads...
Thank you for our daily food and the comfort of our beds.

I thank you for our many friends and the phone that often rings...
And for the tears we cry and for the joy that laughter often brings.

I thank you for my family's love and the way we sometimes sit and
talk...
And for the simple games we play or have a picnic or just take walk.

It's good to be thankful for the little things that make up each day...
For that is where we find your love and the wonders of your way.

Thank you for the memories that life has brought my way...
And thank you for the blessing of knowing that I am your child each
and every day.

                                         TK<><
