Poems About God

Little Blessings

Thank you Lord for the sparkle in a child's eye

Thank you Lord for the scent of wet grass after a summer rainfall

Thank you Lord for the calm after a deep breath

Thank you Lord for the burst of color that comes in the fall

Thank you Lord for my smile that comes from watching my dogs waving their tails

Thank you Lord lifting my spirits with a phone call from a friend

Thank you Lord for the sensation of sand between my toes as I walk along an empty beach

Thank you Lord for the roar of the ocean waves as they pound the shore

Thank you Lord for the footprints in the first winter's snow

Thank you Lord for the millions of tiny lights that dot the sky and make us feel small yet loved by you

Thank you Lord for a strangers greeting as I pass by

Thank you Lord for the care of friends who know me best and love me anyway

Thank you Lord the taste of a cold crisp apple after a long walk in the summer sun

Thank you Lord for the sound of rushing water as I stand beside a mountain creek

Thank you Lord for the peace that comes in those quiet moments

Thank you Lord for the wisdom in the thoughts that are not mine

Thank you Lord for the infectious laughter that follows a silly joke

Thank you Lord for the sensation of a gentle breeze across my cheek as you enter my room

Thank you Lord for the sleep that comes after a long hard day

Sometimes its the little things

the things we overlook

the things we take for granted

the things we miss in the hectic pace of life

that are the greatest blessings
