Daily Thanksgiving

I have so much to be thankful for,
it’s hard to find a starting place.
Through God’s love and his mercy,
all his gracious gifts, I embrace.

This gift of life, he’s given to me,
and all my family whom I love so.
For his promises, to which I cling,
his holy spirit, living in my soul.

Saying thanks can never do justice,
for the mercy he has invested in me.
A simple show of humble gratitude,
is the only thing, he expects to see.

For my path, paved with goodness,
easing the steps of my weary feet
The roadblocks, keeping me focused,
upon each new trial I must greet.

For the new sunrise in the morning,
which erases the darkness of night.
For the beauty of all his creations,
so prominent, in my viewing sight.

As your blessings arrive to me daily,
so should the thanks, which I give.
I thank you most of all, dear Lord
for teaching me how, to truly live.
