Thankful I can hear the sound of the wind in the pines, the
gentle lap of the waves on the shore, the prayers of the small birds in the
early morning light, the silence of the morning covered in white.
Thankful I can see the colors of the changing seasons, the
cherry blossoms, iris, daisies, roses, and marigolds, the changing colors of
the leaves, snow on the bare branches.
Thankful for the taste of strawberries, ice cream, lemonade,
and pumpkin pie.
Thankful for the smell of rain, a baby’s cheek, Thanksgiving
dinner.
Thankful for memories of laughter, hugs, shared moments of
silence.
Bless the Lord, Oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless
his holy name. Psalm 103:1
