A Mother's Thankful Heart

I come before You Father - To thank You for this life - The blessings You have given me - As a mother and a wife - I'm thankful for my children - As I watch them grow and play - Knowing that each moment - Will live for just today - I'm thankful for the laundry - For the dust to wipe away - I'm thankful for the problems - That make me stop and pray - I'm thankful for my husband's job - The roof above our heads - I'm thankful for our daily food - For the comfort of our beds - I'm thankful for the errands - The phone that always rings - I'm thankful for the tears we cry - For the joy that laughter brings - I'm thankful for our family's love - The way we sit and talk - The simple games we often play - The picnics and the walks - I'm thankful for the little things - That make up every day - For therein lies Your love, Lord - And the wonder of Your ways - I'm thankful for the memories - That life has brought my way - I count it as Your blessing - To be a mother every day
