Winter's Little Blessings

Thank God for the little things
That fill our hearts with love,
For all of these reminders
Sent from Heaven up above...

For snowflakes that fall
To cover the ground,
For the fire we've made
And it's warm crackling sound.

For a cup of hot cocoa,
A spot of cider or tea,
Or perhaps maybe just
A simple mug of coffee.

I'm thankful for all
Of the different ways
To warm one's heart
On a cold winter's day.

For the comforts
Of our home so sweet,
A snuggly warm bed
And soul food to eat.

For the children all playing
Out in the bright snow,
And how their smiles
Set my heart aglow.

For the songs we sing
Of joy, peace and love;
For good tidings we pray
To our Father above.

Though it surely may be
Quite frigid outside,
We will always be warm
With the Lord as our guide.

For all the joy
His kindness brings;
I find my sprits lifted up,
For He truly gives my soul it's wings.

Oh, thank you Lord,
For all of winter's little blessings...
