God gave us trees, brilliant blue skies, fluffy white clouds, and, for most of us, eyes to see them.
He gave us music, the laughter of children, for some of us, the voices of our beloved soul mates, as well as ears to hear it all.
He gave us sunshine, rain, cool breezes and a loved one's hand in ours.
God gave us tears when our hearts are breaking, comfort, acceptance and peace.
He gave us ice cream cones and the sound of a friend's voice,
Beloved pets and flowers in every color of the rainbow,
Sweet newborn babies that give hope to our world.
Yes, our Heavenly Father gave all of these things to us.
Thank you, dear God.
Thank you.
IN ADDITION TO YOUR FAMILY, WHAT ARE YOU MOST GRATEFUL FOR THIS SUNDAY?
