Counting the Gifts

Dear God,

~ Thank You ~

The scene outside my father's backyard windows

A soft, sweet doe in the early morning snow

Finding a little protection from the winds on the lee side of a row.

Thank you for
this little bit of summertime on another wintry day

Thank you for

treasured time with my father, sister and niece

For the heart of a little niece who shares her Valentine creations

~ Thank You ~

There are gifts all around us.
Let's spend each moment with eyes wide open to all His gifts.
There's nothing like the JOY from a heart filled with gratitude.
