For all our blessings
too many to count,
Father, we thank you.
For the angel clouds
floating through azure skies,
waterfalls roaring into rivers,
songbirds lifting praise
in the golden poplars.
Father, we thank you
for the sun rays glittering
like sequins on the purple mountains.
We offer our prayers
of thanksgiving for our family,
the sweet smiles of children,
and for the food you provide.
Lord, thank you that gratitude
is a precious offering
that the poorest can make
and be richer for giving thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving to you.
For so many things, I am truly thankful. Thank YOU for this beautiful expression of the giving of thanks.
Loved your poem, Brenda. Even with all that's happened this year we still have a lot to be thankful for.
These are lovely thoughts in so very difficult times, Kay. Happy (early) Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Your poem reminds me that we must count our blessings even if our Thanksgiving gatherings will be different this year because of the China Virus. You always help the readers to be encouraged, and I want you to know what a blessing you are.
