Gratitude

I am amazed when I think of all of the things You have done for us,

all You have put into place for us,

all You have given to us,

all You have opened our minds to,

all You have healed us of,

all of the wounds You have bound up,

all of our talents You have given us,

all that You have created for us,

the flowers and the trees,

the animals we call pets and love,

the creatures that run wild,

mountains to climb, valleys to run through,  

the sun, the stars and the moon,

the planets in the night sky,

the sunsets and sunrises,

the snows that come too soon,

the beauty all around us, Thank you, but still,

This is the mystery of your love, the God 3 in One,

that when I consider this:

The gift of Your Son,

I am awed to see how much You love us.  

You call us Your children; Oh God of Love. 

1 John 3: ¹ See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are.
