A THANKFUL HEART


I’m thankful …..
For the quiet hours
When we can meditate
And know that God is ever present
And Holds secure our fate.

Just as we hear the whisper
Of a gentle breeze
Leaves rustling on the ground
Or falling from the frees.

In all the little things
We often do not hear
Sure as the sun and stars
We know that God is near.
I’m thankful…..

For the time alone
When we can tune in
The memories stored away
And play them back again.

The birth of a new born babe
Now turned sixty - one
The tears & laughter in between
And the victories that were won.

The many friends who share our joy
And often share our sorrow
The good times had and
The plans made for tomorrow.
I’m thankful…..

For the bountiful gifts
Each day that we enjoy
In gratitude I turn to God
To give Him praise and glory.

We live in a country
That is prosperous and free
Full of wondrous things
For everyone to see.

So many comforts
To make us secure
His strength for our trials
That we might endure.
I’m Thankful -Wilhelmine
