A Mother's Thankful Heart

A Mother's Thankful Heart~

I come before you Father to thank you for this life
the blessings you have given me as a mother and a wife.

I'm thankful for my children as I watch them grow and play
knowing that each moment will live for just today.

I'm thankful for the laundry
for the dust to wipe away
I'm thankful for the problems
that make me stop and pray

I'm thankful for my husband's job
the roof over our heads
I'm thankful for our daily food
and the comfort of our beds.

I'm thankful for the errands
the phone that always rings
I'm thankful for the tears we cry
for the joy the laughter brings.

I'm thankful for our family's love
the way we sit and talk
the simple games we often play
the picnics and the walks.

I'm thankful for the little things
that make up everyday f
or therein lies Your love, Lord
and the wonders of your ways.

I'm thankful for the memories
that life has brought my way

I count it as Your Blessing,
to be a Mother every day!
