Amen

God comes, and meets with me
In sacred places
And in intimate spaces
Of my life.

The Lord of the Universe,
He who created ALL that I know,
He is the One who watches over me.
He is my Guard, and my Delight.

Do I really thank Him .. for everything?
For the huff and puff? For aches and pains?
For snows piled high, autumnal rains,
For scorching heat, or bitter cold?

But, if I thanked Him not, for these,
How could I praise the gentle breeze?
How could I thank Him for His Word,
For daily gifts of exceptional love
Abundantly given, plus more again?
Dear Lord, I thank You now!  Amen.
