Remember God’s Gifts

Remember God’s gifts
speak of them openly
repeat them often
within the circle
to all generations

In times of crisis
when Christ feels far away
focus on our history
remember God’s gifts
God’s answer to prayer

Bits of grace heaped on us
by God, living waters,
when we felt close to Him
little pieces of meaning
meeting our daily needs

God close by us
filling some niche
something that we needed
though we may not be aware
all of our days

Even when we wander
when we are in the desert
struggle to sense Him
God with us always
just as God promised
