Thanks Overflows

Father, my thanks overflows.
Thank you for black ink and blank journals.
Thank you for loyal friends.
Thank you for disloyal friends,
who make loyal friends all the more valuable.
Thank you for a faithful wife.
Delightful kids.
A healthy and charming grandson.
A beautiful and healthy granddaughter.
Another on the way.
My own health.
Two reliable (and paid off!) cars in the garage.
Absorbing books.
Sight, and color.
Taste, and food and drink.
Sound, and music and laughter
and the throb of a distant train.
Your closeness.
Your kindness.
Oh, Lord, your constancy.
Thank you for being my rock,
my fortress,
my strong tower,
my refuge,
my God in whom I trust,
in Jesus' name, amen.
