How does my wandering soul begin to praise You, Lord, this day,
the simple thoughts that flood my mind, in reverence and awe
my thanks unwind...to breathe and hear the sounds around in
the brightness of the day, the visions capture my heart unbound,
How lucky am I, I pray!
It's easy for complacency to kick right in, and take these things
for granted, the simplest things I find in life are precious gifts
most wanted.....a smile, a hug, a little walk, the wind upon my skin,
the warmth of sun and driving rain, the morning frosts and chillier
days.
A time to chat and be with friends, to say Hello! to a stranger..
to experience things not tried before, even if it brings some danger!
I relish time to simply "be" and write and share my faith, to take
your blessings of each day, a life you've set for me..
I may not know what will come next, but in you I'll place my trust..
I know that I will do my best, love, cherish and serve...I must!!
