Thank you

Thank you

Two words in response to

a gift

a kindness

a phone call

a caring hug

Thank you

We say it often

 to express gratitude

When I read Psalms

I see "thank you" everywhere

Nothing I say will be that inspired

But let me say thank you as well

Thank you, Father

Thank you for being God

For being a good God

A loving God

A compassionate God

Thank you for creation

For the colors

The shapes

The smells

The sounds

What a glorious creation you have made!

Thank you for your nature

For your care for me

Your love for me

You patience with me,

I need it a lot

Thank you for your gifts

There are so many

Thank you for work to do

Thank you for health to do it

Thank you for all you give

And most of it I don't deserve

Thank you for family

for loved people who love me too

Thank you for your family, the church

Thank you for your care for each one

Thank you for Jesus

For his life that shows us what you are like

Thank you for his compassion

for his heart for people

for his love for food

for his love of me

Thank you for the cross

and thank you for the resurrection

Thank you for the promise of life with you!

Eternity would be a long time

without you in it

Thank you for the promise 
for the hope

for the joy
for your book
for your Spirit

There is so much

I haven't even mentioned

All the things you endure with me

You never give up on me

If I were you, I would have given up

on me years ago

Thank you

There is so much

Maybe that's what eternity is about
 a time to know all that you have done

simply because you love us

Thank you.
