Psalm of Abundant Gratitude

I give thanks

for simple things…

bird calls, daffodils, and fresh clean sheets

for warm things…

fireplaces, bubble baths, and sunshine

for things that comfort…

hugs, soft blankets, and homemade chicken soup

for dazzling things…

starry skies, fireworks, and Christmas trees

for everyday things…

morning tea, conversation, and evening quiet time

for things that cheer…

music, loving hearts, and chubby babies

for tasty things…

fudge brownies, crisp apples, and India Pale Ales

for grand things…

beaches, mountains, and acres of pastureland

for things that inspire…

puffy clouds, full moons, and poetry

for fundamental things…

family, health, and freedom

and for divine things…

grace, redemption, and everlasting life
