Pausing, stopping, to be thankful,
to remember what is important,
faith, family, abundance,
the little things that matter
such rich blessing, hope, love,
poured out by the heart of God.
When someone asks,
“How are you doing?,
I try to respond, to answer,
"Better than I deserve.
For I deserve damnation
and I receive salvation
through the sacrifice of Christ."
There is hope even in the storms
in our struggles, on this journey,
if we remember this truth,
that which is truly important,
such love, abundance, hope,
poured out by the heart of God.
Our lives are filled with such blessings,
the little things, each moment,
love from our Father, our Creator,
from the living, risen God.
We must be grateful, thankful in our spirits
for the many gifts, the protection,
walking in our purpose, our calling on earth.
