A Thankful Heart
by Barbara Philbrook

A thankful heart is what you've given to me.
One that looks on life more appreciatively.

I'm thankful for the people who touch my life,
no matter whether they bring joy or strife.

I'm thankful for the air which I breath,
and that from life's pains I often have reprieve.

I'm thankful for the every day needs being met,
and I'm thankful for what we haven't received yet.

I love waking up each new day,
and wondering just what You'll bring our way.

I count it a blessing to be able to walk,
and am almost always happy for a voice so I can talk.

I surrender daily looking for guidance from You,
on my own I'd mess up tis sad but true.

I'm thankful for life, love, friends and even enemies,
but Father most of all I'm thankful toYou for providing each of these!
