I Am Thankful

For the sun light that streams through my kitchen window in the morning.

For the beautiful mountains that surround the valley I live in.

For the snow that quiets my world in winter and the sun that warms my face in summer.

For the rustling leaves in fall and the tiny spring flowers that peek their heads skyward in spring.

For all these things God creates, I am thankful.

For the children I have been given, for the grandchildren they have given me.

For my parents who nurtured and taught me.

For those in my family who have gone before.

For my family, I am thankful.

For my friends who wrap their loving arms around me in time of need.

For all the laughter, tears and years we share.

For my friends, I am thankful.

For enjoying the freedoms of this great country.

For living as I choose.

For being given so much.

For all of this I am truly blessed.

I am thankful.
