Thank You

Thank You, Dear Lord, for quenching rain,
The thirsty earth will thrive again.
You've tested us with burning drought;
To show us we can't live without
Your ever-loving tender care;
Reminding us to do our share.

I'm sure You have heard me complain
That You were sending too much rain,
Thinking it a miss-timed blessing,
With a plan of mine 'twas messing.
Plans for picnic or barbecue
Can change.It's strictly up to You.

Forgive my selfish attitude;
Accept this poem as gratitude.
Amen.

Joyce 8/9/03

Joyce:  We haven't gotten that much-needed rain yet, except for showers last Sunday, which did very little to help the drought. We did have thunder storms one night this week, that ignited 5 more fires in our area. I'm glad you are getting rain where you are and I really like this poem!

it seems no matter what He gives us, we're never satisfied. We all need a lesson on contentment I think. This is a good start for us all.. I'll try to thank God for some of those things I normally wouldn't, today.
God bless!
Always, Alyssa

No rain here, but your poetry was a treat to read. Been without a computer for a while - just got a new one, thank heavens.

Glad they brought it back and I just happened in here. This is wonderful!  So true, it does seem we tend to complain, but what a great reminder of all He really does for us.  Even if we don't appreciate at the time.
