THANKFUL

Times are tough
We hear it said
We live it
Bad boys, bad boys
Became real
Investments faltered
Families torn, divorce
Car problems
Where to put baby?
Job losses

Is there another side to this valueless coin?

Family
Friends who sit with you
when you're scared at night
Getting a check in the mail
When you need it most
Loved ones asking
"what do you need?"
And then acting on it
Family
Full cupboards
Cookies fresh from the oven
A card that blesses the heart
Nice checkers
Nice gas station attendants
Nice postal carriers
Family
Inspirational blogs
Everyday kind of blogs
Rich conversation
Dinner parties
New life
Family

Hope.
