Blog Your Blessings Sunday - A Week of Gratitude

Walking in the Summer rain, Noisy wee-folk in their play, In hush that stills a boisterous day, In waterbeads on windowpane.In bell-clear tones when robin sings, Dew-kissed web a spider weaves, Rich and gold of Autumn leaves, And fairy-flakes that Winter brings. A gentle pat upon my cheek, In glancing moonbeams on a lake, In happy laughter children make While wading in a rushing creek. In wind that plays in willow trees, And angel voices in a choir, The crackle of an open fire, And tulips nodding in the breeze. In silky strands of milkweed pod, In sparkling grains of sea-washed sand, The courteous clasp of Friendship’s hand, And in a dialogue with God.

Another of the lovely prayers/poems that I come across in my weekly perusal of worldprayers.org.  It seems to capture the essence of each of our Sunday Blessing bloggings in that it sings praise to the small blessings of daily life.  It is something that I strive to do each week.  I look for the blessings that are there for me each day in spite of hardship trials and worry.

Today I am grateful for having vision insurance for the first time in years.  It allowed me to spend about $150 total and get eye exams for myself and both girls, new reading glasses for my Eldest, and new glasses for myself as well.  We should have our “new eyes” in 7-10 days and pictures will be forthcoming.

Today I am grateful for my father holding on to my late mother’s bicycle.  It is a 10-speed and was quite expensive 25 years ago (or so) when my dad bought it for my mom for Xmas.  She rode it perhaps 5 times so it is like new.  It cost us a total of $30 to get it up to snuff in that we had to replace one of the inner-tubes and buy a seat cover.  She is thrilled with it and I am hoping that it will encourage her to spend time this summer out in nature and perhaps get Hubby using HIS bike more often.

Today I am grateful for making plans with friends.  For Lady Rose’s next visit sometime in May and our grand adventure to Womongathering in June.  For M2 and I planning to go to Atlantic City in 2 weeks to play penny machines. 

Blessings to you and yours
