Returning Thanks.

Thank you God for the breeze that cools

 

For the water we drink from sparkling pools

 

For the rain that falls from the ether aglow

 

to help our plants on earth to grow

 

Thank you God for the lovely sky

 

For the fluffy clouds that scurry by

 

For the trees so green and hills so far

 

For the black velvet night and each shining silver star

 

Thank you God for the golden sun

 

which shines on us when night is done

 

For the tossing tide and each long sandy beach

 

For all the blessings you place within reach

 

For each insect, plant, tree, animal and shrub

 

But most of all God, for your sweet precious love.

Amen. Though many can't see it, God has blessed us in countless ways, all of them far more important than fancy clothes, new cars, or mansions on a hill. With paradise all around, the only thing to make it better is to have someone to share it with. Fine writing, my friend.

Thank you so very much for your very encouraging review, Sam. I am so pleased you enjoyed reading and I agree that the blessings we received from our God come in so many ways and are more important than anything of material value. Asking God to send you his very best, richest and most beautiful blessings, my friend...

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Amen. It is God's love that sustains all and mankind should echo the Creator's love through himself just as the hole in a guitar resonates the sound of music. We may not be able to amplify the meaning of God's love as much as we'd like but we can certainly share it as often as we please. A wonderful, meaningful write. F.

Thank you for reading and for your very encouraging review, Fabian. I agree, that as God gives everything to us through His love, that loved should be shared with all of our brothers and sisters in life. I love how you express that so poetically and through excellent depiction. Asking God to send you His very best, richest and most beautiful blessings, my friend...
