I decided this morning that it was time to get back to the heart of Thankful Thursday and write a poem about the little things I am thankful for.
Little Things
I’m thankful for
the little things
I often take for granted
A soft warm bed
to sleep safely at night
The smell of coffee brewing
as I open my eyes each morn
A long hot shower
to start each new day
Music of all varieties
to suit my every mood
Granola and nuts with almond milk
to energize me on my way
Flowers blooming spring to fall
offering beauty to my eyes
Family and friends who help
bear the burdens of life
Access to the Word of God
in multiple translations
A means through prayer
to speak with my sweet Jesus
Freedom to enjoy the life
God has blessed me with
I know that freedom
is not a little thing
but makes these little things
and infinitely more
ever oh so sweet
