The following poem from my first published book, has been a favorite poem for many years. It has been republished several times in the Dallas Morning News, The McKinney Courier Gazette, and various major web sites. From my family to yours, our best wishes and blessings.
Over the last year, I am especially appreciative of all the positive feedback I have received on this WordPress web site. Thank You All!
Blessings, a special gift from God. Given in prayer given when no hope seems apparent. Blessings bring joys when there is darkness laughter where there are tears. Could these blessings be but tears from God? A way that our God lets us know, that He truly is there and yes He does exist? At times these gifts are given when never expected to let us know truly love and concern is there for us all. If you have forgotten on this day the many special blessings rendered to you. In this blessed thing called Life. Get on your knees render thanks to our God. He will only bless you with more of His eternal Love.
