A Thankful Spirit

Grace Moment by Moment-monthly column
Life has gotten harder for everyone in these last few months. Many people are barely surviving just because the price for vital necessities like food, and medicine has increased, while many of the same people have lost jobs and homes.
Because of these tough economic times, I understand why it it would be rough finding something to be thankful for . But that is why I'm writing this column today. Even though, Thanksgiving Day, November 2008 has come and gone, we can still find comfort in the little things.
You might be asking right now, "What little things?"

Thank God for Little Things that Often Come our Way

Thank you God for little things that often come our way.
The little insignificant things, we take for granted every day.
The morning’s glory as we rise
which meets our tired, worn out eyes.
The music of the birds we hear,
as we face ourselves in the mirror.
The soul-cleansing bath we take,
when we get a good old coffee break.
The deafening, relentless roar
in traffic, as our tempers soar!
The maddening dash for cash,
when the trade points flip and crash.
May we never take these opportunities to draw close to you for granted,
nor the many other blessings we’ve been handed.
Help us always remember when life becomes bleak and our finances get low,
how much You love us so!
For we can never underestimate,
nor should we cease to appreciate
that it is through hard and difficult times we often grow,
to love You even more so!
