I am blessed. Some days that is difficult for me to say, and some days it comes more easily. Like most people, I have my ups and downs, and plenty of difficult moments. I am not blessed with an easy carefree life, instead I feel like most of my blessings come as gentle little raindrops refreshing me and calling me to draw closer to God. As I prepare for Thanksgiving I would like to thank God for all these little moments.
So Thankful
Thank you God for putting so many smiles in my life
which made me feel happy and loved.
Thank you for those moments you helped me to see things clearer
and for giving me people who help me see things differently.
Thank you God for bringing loved ones to my aid
when I thought no one else was listening.
Thank you for all the outstretched hands
that generously helped me and made me stronger.
Thank you for all those moments you allowed me to feel
Your peace amidst my inner storms.
Thank you for those moments when life excited me
and laughter flowed with family and friends.
Thank you for the changes that I expected,
and all the changes I resisted.
Thank you for Your gentle touch of healing,
and for quieting the screams inside my heart.
Thank you for dwelling within me-
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
I am so thankful.
I am blessed.
-Susan
