Spaces of gratitude

Grow when

 

I notice little things

(the easily taken for granted that escape my/our notice things

while we rush and shout and shove about)

 

The little things

 

That You do

 

Every day

(all day)

 

For me/us

 

The trinity of deer crossing my path

The red-green gold of trees turning at Your calling

The scent of rain coming

 

The peace

Of Your

 

Word created world

 

Coming to its

 

Repose

 

Clamor/greed/self

(in all its forms)

Crowd this out

 

Anger

Self righteousness

My way or the highway thinking

Diminish

 

This life giving space that

You made

For us

 

Go outside dear one

Whenever as

As often as

You can

 

Breathe in

Breathe

Breathe in

 

Breathe

His perfection

His order

His peace

And

 

Give thanks

Give thanks

Give thanks
