Thankful for the Little Things
My friend Michael's blog is always so sincere and heartfelt, and this week he has been listing little things in life that he's thankful for. His insights always help me keep things in perspective.
Because I've fallen into a rut of posting song lyrics (and no, it's not a lack of imagination...just a temporary lapse of creativity), here's a song that sums up many of the things I'm thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
There's nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon
Walking to the sunlight, and being cradled by the moon
Catching fireflies at night
Building castles in the sand
Kissing Mama's face goodnight
And holding Daddy's hand
Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more?
Running barefoot through the grass
A little hide and go seek
Being so in love that you can hardly eat
Dancing in the dark when there's no one else around
Being bundled 'neath the covers, watching snow
Fall to the ground
Thank you Lord, how could I ask for more?
So many things I thought would bring me happiness
Some dreams that are realities today
Such an irony the things that mean the most to me
Are the memories that I've made along the way
So if there's anything I've learned
From this journey I am on
Simple truths will keep you going
Simple love will keep you strong.
Cause there are questions without answers, and
Flames that never die.
The heartaches we go through are often blessings in disguise
So thank you Lord,
How could I ask for more?

It has been a long time since I have ran barefoot through the grass. I am going to have to remember to do it this coming spring.

Hey Anna! How are you girlie?!? Thanks for the long-distance hug, much appreciated, especially considering your distaste for physical touch! ;) Anyway, I sang that song at church one Sunday...Mom bawled the whole time..imagine that!? Thanks for reminding us of so many things that we have to be thankful for!
