Thanksgiving
Have you ever been so busy
Chasing duties here and there
That it seems a blight attacks you
And you’re blind to beauty rare?

We’re neglectful in expressing
Humble thanks to Him above
For all His gracious blessings
Which flow down to us in love!
The fields are full of treasures
And the diamonds on the grass
Sparkle in their fiery beauty
That’s a scene that is first class!

And the Master artist’s canvas
Painted to perfection rare
Is available every moment
If we take the time to care.

The majestic heavenly glory
Sun and moon that shine afar
Have we ever really noticed them
At home a’midst the stars?

Have you seen the unique colors
That were blended or combined
To form the beautiful heavenly arch
God’s promise so Divine?
Or the gurgling brook that washes
Every twig and rock so clean
And also slowly travels on
While boys wade in its stream?

Sometimes we need to stop awhile
To really truly see…
And thank Him for the precious things
He has made for you and me!
