We Thank Thee


For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.


For blue of stream and blue of sky;
For pleasant shade of branches high;
For fragrant air and cooling breeze;
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee.


~~Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882



O Lord, that lends me life,
Lend me a heart replete with thankfulness!


~~William Shakespeare 1564-1616


Encourage one another,
