HAPPY THANKSGIVING

With thanks to my friend Irene Seaman
for permission to use her photos!

Thank you for Your majesty,

For the beauty that I see,

In every tiny flower.

Thank you for your faithfulness,

Through every thunderstorm no less,

With its display of power.

Thank you for the sweet refrain

Of the light, refreshing rain,

Dancing on the lake.

Thank you, too, for love you pour

Like the ocean waves that roar

With the pulsing sounds they make.

Thank you that we’re free to soar

Like the eagle at the shore,

High above the noisy crowds.

Thank you for my loved one’s hand,

As we stroll along the sand,

Our heads in the clouds.

Thank you that in everything,

Flowers, oceans, birds that sing,

We behold your beauty.

It’s all from YOU, 
this earthly treasure,

Yet You’ve made us 
for Your own pleasure.

I worship You in love
Our awesome God above!
