I am a Christian

Thank you God

Thank you God for giving me children who don't complain but urge me on in earnest belief. They are my strength.

Thank you God for prayer, when I cry out, when I whisper, when I sing and when I scream. It is the listening ear of a good friend.

Thank you God for the beauty of nature all around me. Every flower is a boquet. Every sunrise and sunset is a sonnet. It my peace.

Thank you God for blessings that wrap around me like a fat, warm quilt. They are a gift.

Thank you God for allowing me a taste of love, whose sweet memory still lingers at the corner of my mouth. He was joy.

Thank you God for the love of teaching children. They make me  laugh and make me cry. They are my passion.

Thank you God for your word in the morning, afternoon and evening, when waters are troubled or calm. It is my guide.

Thank you God for a dry, warm shelter, a place to hide when the storms of life are all around. It is my home.

Thank you God for understanding parents who both accept and cherish me. They are my comfort.

Thank you God for my church family. They are more important than words can say. They are my cleft in the rock.

Thank you God for pen and paper, a media for self expression. It is my sanity.

Thank you God for your son who died to save me and continues to rescue me every day. He is my only hope.
