Don't Take For Granted

I try not to take for granted anything in my life that God grants me. So many can't.


Poem Artwork

 

I got out of bed this morning
I could stand and I could walk
I could kneel and say my prayer
I could read and I could talk

Don't take for granted
When a new dawn comes your way
Every moment is a blessing
When we wake to another day

So many are bedridden
They've nearly run the race
Loneliness and pain
Are the demons they must face

Don't take for granted
The blessings God hands down
The birds chipping in the trees
Such beauty all around

Don't take for granted
The wonderful gift of your sight
Some live in total darkness
Something they just can't fight

Don't take for granted
The food you have to eat
Some have a bare table
They hang their head in defeat

Be THANKFUL for each blessing
But think of others too
We know not our future
Or what we will go through

(C) 2015  Linda Hill

I thank God each and everyday for the things He has given to me, especially those wishes that I have prayed for and granted. Nice poem, Linda!

I will give your poem to my 9 grandchildren (one family thru my adopted son). It's time they realize just how much they have and who they need to thank for it. They need to see this heart-warming message. Thank you. John

Excellent! Blessings should be our motivation to think of those in situations of need, and to DO something which could turn out to be their blessing.

Thank you

The more we take for granted in life, the less we will see in God's creation! His will for our lives is to help each other especially the poor and needy. If we are thankful for all that God bestows on us, only then will the universe became available to us. I call it Love! Thank you Linda for reminding us to appreciate God's gifts and glory! Peace!!!
