I don't tell God thank you often enough
Aug. 6th, 2006 07:39 amThank you, God, for.....
friends and family and sunshine. Light and shadow and little kittens. All the pretty colors in the world. My job, my coworkers, the experiences in life You've granted....fresh-baked cookies, chocolate, strawberries warm from the sun. For making me a girl. For trees with green leaves and trees with leaves of yellow and red and orange and brown. For the tiny hummingbird right outside the window and the basil growing in the garden. For fresh fruit! For books and music and beauty, and ways that even I can express myself thus. For listening to all my attempts at prayer. For a cozy house with many rooms and people to fill them up. For comic strips and the internet. For long-distance communication. For a church home and Christian role models, and opportunities for me to serve. For bare feet and skirts that flow and...yes, God, thank you very much for hair. For some special people I won't mention by name, in case I leave someone out....YOU know who they are. For Your Word, and Your Word made Flesh. For eyes to see and ears to hear and lips to speak. For life, dear Father, thank you for my LIFE.
