Thanks Be to God

This morning as I opened the blinds and was greeted so divinely by the exquisite scene outside the window my very first thoughts were ,"Thanks be to God" and I knew there was something that needed to be put down on paper .So as I sipped my tea this is what came from my heart .

         Thanks Be To God
Thanks be to God for rhe sun in the sky,
The snow on the trees
And the bed where I lie.

Thanks be to God for the food that I eat,
For the clothes that I wear
And the shoes on my feet.

Thanks be to God for the hot cup of tea,
For the fires that warms
And the dog on my knee.

Thanks be to God for the soft paw on my face,
For the one who calls me mama
For my not deserving but given free grace .

Thanks be to God for the wood in the box,
The books by my side
The door that hears knocks.

Thanks be to God for a hand that can write,
For a heart that still hopes
For the stars that shine in the night.

Thanks be to God for the beauty I see,
Every season .every day
And especially knowing that Jesus loves me . 



P.S.  As I write I should be at the curling club throwing rocks but Old Mother Nature had other plans and I'm snowed in on the NGT.
