thank you again

Thank you for the sunshine of a new day,

for the frost that sparkles and the light that illuminates

for the sleepy boys that snuggle on my lap

for the strong and steady and hardworking man

for good friends that are forthright and godly

for health, for food, for comfort,

For grace to start each day afresh.

Sometimes we lose sight of the mountains of blessing in our lives.

There are times when the equilibrium is off.

Times when the d0-it-agains and the not-yet-dones loom large.

Moments when we just can't see the sunshine and we loiter in the shadows.

Yet each new day He reaches down and pours down grace

and douses us with every good thing.
