These Unspeakable Gifts


There are so many blessings contained in one day
Too many to count or to even convey
Simple wonders we often do not observe
Mercies and blessings we seldom deserve

Like mornings that dawn with hopes renewed
The scent of coffee freshly brewed
Quiet time alone with God
Someone who loves us, though we are flawed
 
Walking barefoot on a cool, sandy beach
The changing of seasons & the beauty in each
Patches of flowers growing wild
The whispered “I love you” from a little child


Wings of a dragonfly intricately detailed
Forgiveness in times when we have failed 
Crates brimming with apples so red and crisp
The smile of a child whose lost tooth brings a lisp

Cherished memories of a loved one who’s deceased
Hard works compensation through pay that’s increased
Gods faithfulness always for our needs to supply
The cool night air and star bejeweled sky

Endearing clasp of a hand weathered and old
Arms that accept and lovingly enfold 
Music that speaks to the core of our being
Eyes to enjoy everything we are seeing

A timely word that ministers and uplifts
“Thanks be unto God for these unspeakable gifts!” -2 Corinthians 9:15
