Grateful

I'm grateful for glimpses of the world through a child's eyes...



...for things that make me laugh...


...for curiosity and cuteness...


...for helpful hands...


...for my mother's laughter...


...for a grandmother's love...

 

...for breakfasts by Daddy...

 

...for fried eggs and cast iron skillets...

 

...for cats...


...for giving hearts...

 

...and grateful hearts...

 


Thou hast given so much to me,

give one thing more-a grateful heart;

not thankful when it pleaseth me,

as if Thy blessings had spare days,

but such a heart whose pulse

may be Thy praise.


- George Herbert

Happy Thanksgiving!
