Let's hear from BL

Many Things to Thank For!

Thank you Lord for my wife who is always busy in the house,
This meant she is home and not out shopping and spending money.
Thank you Lord for my husband who is a couch potato,
This meant he is home and not out at a bar with some honey.

Thank you Lord that each day I have to scream
And wake up the children and get them to school,
This meant that I have been blessed with children
And each day my hours spent are joyous and meaningful.

Thank you Lord for my teenager who is always on the internet
This meant that she is home, and not roaming with bad hats.

Thank you Lord for an office to go and have a boss
This meant that I have a job, not idling and feeling lost.

Thank you Lord that I am not anxious about the future,
That I forget the present, and live life without cheer.

Thank you Lord for the gift to earn money and be wealthy
And need not see doctors to spend money to stay healthy.

Thank you Lord for the many outings I have to attend
This meant that I have friends to joke and play pranks.

Thank you Lord that my life has been rich and fulfilling
Not that I have everything but that I lack nothing.

Thank you Lord that I have a bed
That I can sleep soundly each night;
This meant that I have a blessed home
Resting & knowing that everything is all right.

Thank you Lord when the alarm screams each morning,
It means that I have not lost my hearing!
Hallelujah, I am still alive for another day!

It is a marvel that >50 years have gone by - just like that. Truly many things to thank for - good health, good family, good friends, good food, good fun etc. Trust this goodness will follow us to the very last day - say another 40 yrs? I count this my blessings to have this Charlton classmates who remain in contact to this day - a miracle in this busy capitalistic city.
