AT ALL TIMES GIVE THANKS
August 6, 2018
Smiling,
The cloud rained down.
The droplets kissed the dry land.
Refreshed and blessed,
The blades of grass gazed heavenward
And the sun began to shine.

BE THANKFUL ANYWAY – BE THANKFUL ALWAYS
June 3, 2017Beyond The Veil
For the Light costumd by darkness,
I thank you, Lord.
For the beauty I know but cannot see,
I thank you, Lord.
For the music I cannot hear yet still I dance
And thank you, Lord.
For your secret healing of my every need,
I thank you, Lord.
For living in this broken human’s heart,
I thank you, Lord.
For using me anyway,
All my love and thanks and praise to you.
Amen

MORE THAN ENOUGH
May 27, 2017I pray and I pray
“Lord, give me strength!”
All He did
was infuse me
with His love.
Thank you!

NO LONGER UNSEEN
January 14, 2017Open your heart to faith
and pray with hope
unceasingly.
You will be amazed
at the previously unseen miracles
Love has richly showered you with,
which you have taken for granted.
It is never to late to bow down,
to say thanks,
to share the good news.

UNLOCK THE SECRET TO JOY
November 19, 2016
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. -Melody Beattie

Attitude of Gratitude
August 23, 2016Little flower,
petals swaying in the breeze,
bows her head
as rain comes.
Then she looks to the sun
in joyful thanks!
