Lord,
I'm thankful for so many things
as
this day of 'thanks' draws near.
It
seems the list much longer grows
with
every passing year.
I've
told you, Lord, so often
how
grateful I am to you,
For
listening to my prayers, Lord
And
answering as you do.
So
I thank you for my husband
a
man that's truly rare;
Someone
so perfect for me
I
know he's an 'answered' prayer.
And
it makes me smile each Holiday
and
feel especially blessed
'cause
once again my kids will bring
Their
kids back to the
nest
We'll
laugh, and love and just be glad
we
can spend time with each other
My
heart... and eyes...will overflow
With
each "I love you, Mother"
I
thank you for my Grandkids.
Lord,
I guess you knew...
How
much they would need me;
how
much I'd need them ,too.
They
give their love so freely,
as
only a child can do.
Without
them I might grow old, Lord,
and
I'm grateful that you knew.
I
thank you for my Sisters ,Lord,
and
for my brother, too.
You've
given me a family
that
anyone would choose.
Each
one brings their special gifts...
Love;
wisdom; patience, too,
and
puts them in the family pot
For
everyone to use.
I
thank you, Lord, for mom and dad
I
told you my list was long....
But
how can I not be grateful for
a
bond that is so strong.
They've
been my anchor and my refuge
when
the storms seemed not to end.
And
next to you, I always knew
On
them I could depend.
Good
friends...Oh Lord how I thank you,
for
those so close and dear...
That
take the place of family
When
family isn't near.
And
I thank you for this country, Lord
The
good ole U. S. of A.
For
all her faults, She's still the best
God,
bless America I pray.
I'm
thankful, Lord that I can go
to
any church I choose.
And
when our leaders have done wrong
I
can read it in the news.
I'm
thankful, Lord, that because of you,
Hope
is always there.
I
thank you for this life of mine...
and
for those with whom it's shared.
