I was emailed this poem and thought it to be appropriate for this time of year. I don't know who wrote it, certainly wasn't me... And maybe the part about the children will describe my life one day. But these are some of the things I'm thankful for!!! Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings,
Thank you, Lord, that I can hear - many are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible,
Thank you, Lord, that I can see - many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising,
Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise - many are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud, thank you, Lord, for my family - many are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced, thank you, Lord, for the food we have - many are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous, thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work- many have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest, thank you, Lord, for life.
For the Season
