For Everything
(“Consistently
give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus, the
Messiah” Ephesians 5:20)
For the shots that missed
and for the love without cost,
we thank you o Lord.
For the homes well-lit and for the late sunset tones,
we thank you o Lord.
For the few who left and for the friends ever true,
we thank you o Lord.
For the blues well-worn and for the unclouded hues,
we thank you o Lord.
For the scrapes that healed and for every birthday cake,
we thank you o Lord.
For the stress today and for slumber’s deep caress,
we thank you o Lord.
For the day we’re born and for the kingdom’s ballet,
we thank you o Lord.
For the dance of spring and for a budding romance,
we thank you o Lord.
For the ice of winter and for its extruded nights,
we thank you o Lord.
For the wings of angels,
for the footsteps of pets,
for the mess of our lives, for the failings you bless,
for forgiveness and grace, for lace and tablecloths,
for picnics and breadcrumbs, for love and found,
for the sounds that wake us and the sounds that make us
laugh and hug and pray with our tongues tied up.
For lightning, for thunder, for asphalt, for gravel,
for every thing
and everything
We thank you o Lord!
Beautiful!!
