Thanksgiving Blessings
I am thankful for the Blessing of Life
Do you know where I’m typing?
On a granite table, in the beautiful home where I house sit
Thank you, Lord, for this grand opportunity
Do you know what I’m drinking?
Clean water in a glass
Thank you, Lord, for quenching my thirst
Do you know what I am eating?
Fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat
Thank you, Lord, for our bounty
Do you know where I will sleep tonight?
In a soft bed with sheets and blankets
Thank you, Lord, for providing so I can rest
It is not the big things that mean the most
It is not television or shopping, fast cars or recreation
It is the things that we forget about that God has given us
It is our family, our friends, our pets, our sun, and moon that mean the most
It is our opportunity to grow, to praise Him, to worship
It is clean air and pure water
It is that we are making it through Covid 19 and we will prevail
If we all would get on our knees, yes on our knees, and thank the Lord
If we all would praise Him not only when times are tough
If we all would just be thankful for Him yes thankful for God
We would know the real meaning of Thanksgiving and He would rejoice
I am thankful for the Blessing of Life
