Is your life full
Of good things sent from the Lord?
Abundantly blessed,
Crowned with tender mercies?
Have you been divinely
Healed, Forgiven, Redeemed?
May you never forget
To always praise the Lord daily
For everything He does for you
Choka
Based on Psalm 103:1-5
Have you tried the LORD?
Have you experienced Him?
Have you taken time?
Taste and see, the LORD is good.
Have you reached out?
Trust and see, His blessings flow.
He is waiting for you.
Perceive who He really is.
Taste His goodness today.
Choka
Oh, the LORD is good!
Just trust in Him and be blessed!
Taste and you will see!
Senryu
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

Treading upon leaves
That October left behind
A grateful heart
Is filled with thanksgiving
For the blessings of this day

Giving thanks today
For the little things in life
Often gone unnoticed
Today I am thankful I can walk using only a lightweight one point cane.
Quite a strange thing to be thankful for you might say, but…it sure beats lying in a hospital bed, being unable to walk or having to walk with a walker or a heavy duty 4 point cane, as was previously my case.
Little things we don’t think twice about, daily tasks we do that we often take take for granted, or routine things we do without thought….
Like tying a shoe, or putting a shoe on without using a shoehorn for help.
Or, pulling on a sock, trimming a toenail, bending a knee, taking a shower, washing clothes, carrying out garbage, loading and unloading a dishwasher, reaching up, bending down, sitting in any chair or position for any length of time, dressing and undressing yourself, cooking meals, sweeping a floor, vacuuming a carpet, lifting things, and I could go on and on. Mundane daily tasks for some, great achievements for others…
Appreciating
The little things we often do,
Frequently overlooked
Two months ago I fell, fractured my hip and had to have surgery. This resulted in me not being able to do all these little things I so often took for granted. Now, as I am regaining the ability to do all these things again, I am finding myself feeling so excited and thankful! For I have come to realize that nothing we do is a “little thing”, it is a blessing and it should be treasured.
For many can’t do these things because of injury, illness, or some other circumstance. For these individuals, the ability to do one or all of these things would be a great blessing.
It’s something to think about…
Treasure all you have
Be thankful for all you do
Nothing done is small
Haibun
Come before the King,Who can do anything!
No power is greater than He!
With Him, ALL is possibility!
He delights at your company,
Come bow before Him and see,
The blessings He will bestow,
As Him you come to know.
Eternal King, Father, Friend.
He will be with you til the end.
To our King we do hail,
For His love will never fail.
Rhyme
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17
Yes, things may be bad
But they could always be worse
Focus on blessings
Negativity reverse
Mind in gratitude immerse
Tanka Rhyme
At the end of Christmas Day, after all the excitement is over, the presents are opened, the wrappings are gathered up and thrown away, I am glad that the love of family remains. Peace on Earth—Goodwill to Men. Christmas Blessings to all.
