What are you thankful for today? Thanksgiving is a day set aside to pause, reflect, and to give thanks to the giver of all good gifts.
*
for the calm
within a swirling storm
for abiding peace
amidst wars within and without
for the everpresent source of strength
when I am weak
for boundless hope
in a world of decay
for unfailing love
in a world of hate
for steadfast mercy
in a world of uncertainty
for beauty splashed on earth
for signs of your eyes, breath, and light
for your unchanging character
I am thankful
