A rainy Monday thanks

Thank you Lord for the spring rains-
For new seasons to remind us our circumstances are too,
only for a season

For new mercies each day
For little giggles and smiles and cuddles
And soft bellies that speak of precious innocence

You said Your kingdom belongs to such as these
I continue to marvel at this truth

Thank you for your Body
Which prays, carries burdens, stands with and for each other
When we are too tired to stand

Thank you for white wings that cover
That make aches resolve
And lightens the load

Thank you for family
That stays, that prays, that endures
And loves and lives to the end.
