This God-Given Home

Awakening from a restful night, I thank God for my humble home, For His keeping watch as I slept, And for His morning show of charm. Enjoying my breakfast with delight, I feel God’s presence in a brimming cup. And before I grasp His amazing provision, All my morning meal has been eaten up. With joy I sit in safety and comfort While I mull over visions in my head. I think of words to express my pleasure For having a window above my bed. Clouds overhead sailing thru sunbeams Are like ships on a sea of blue sky. Such placid scenes have a calming effect, When a rare day of strife is nigh. Everyday I receive God’s daily bread And wash the dishes happily indeed. I know my heartaches are rinsed away And replaced by what I badly need. God blesses me with gifts every moment. And every night I sincerely pray. Though I can never repay His charity, I thank Him for gifts He sends each day.
