THE SEASONS OF YOUR LIFE
I pray the seasons of your life
Will be rich!
(If not in things of the material,
Then in things spiritual.)
I pray your hopes and dreams of heart
All come true: and blessings
Added shall be refreshing art.
I pray the seasons of your life
Bring peace into the household.
And that "good will towards men" reaches all
Who pass across your threshhold.
I pray your hopes, the secrets of your heart
May be fulfilled --
And that each day shall truly bring new start.
I pray peace and blessings on your life,
And a gentle spirit, free from strife.
When we are kept in Jesus,
What blessings we do know,
What joys we share,
The little things,
Such as --"He loves us so".

REASONS TO BE THANKFUL
I'm thankful for my waiting bed,
when it's time to rest;
I'm grateful to my loving God
for knowing what is best.
I'm glad for rain, and sunshine too,
and changing of the season;
I rejoice that God gives me the power
to think and sense and reason.
I'm thankful for my daily food--
but I am happiest
In the hope that God is near;
his love is true and blest!
