Appreciiation! Amen!

 Lord! I appreciate! Amen!

(a prayer of Thanksgiving-Appreciation! Amen!)

 

Dear Lord!---I appreciate Love!...Thank Thee! Amen!

 

What another Fantastic! Amazing! Perfect! day to show Love and sincere appreciation!

January 19^th!---But…It could be just any “Christmas!”-day of the entire year! Amen! If you choose an attitude of complete and sacred “Appreciation” of---everything and…everybody! An old gospel crooner once begged: Why can’t everyday be Christmas!? It “Is” for any who choose.

I awoke to the dawn and thanked God for another day! One more chance to appreciate!

“No” complaints about the weather! Aches! Pains! Plight! Position! Just---Thankful!---Amen!

And---while every day is special to me…Today is Brother’s birthday and Niece Lisa’s too!

Off with Lovely Lady Candice Leah to get a birthday cake and lottery ticket gifts---Fun!

Yeah! Sure-enough reckon-so---it’s windy and cloudy!...Just---another…Perfect! day!

Each nuance of time-through-space is exciting---because…I take notice to appreciate!

We are each gifted a time-through-space---What(?) we do with it is…our personal choice!

So?---I a-purpose appreciate!...Life! Love! Laughter! Faith! Family! Freedom! Amen!

Non-materialistic---I tally not silver nor gold!...My Treasure! Measure! Pleasure! Is Love!

Two “positives” necessary each day?---Learn something new!...Make somebody smile!

My spirit is satiated with blessed Peace!---It is sustained with a practiced…Appreciation!

Focus-Life!---Blossom-Love!...Celebrate a Peace!-bouquet! Amen!

Thank Thee! Lord! Mom & Dad! Relatives! Kin! Friends! Acquaintances! All—spirits! Amen!

And, while I entertain no faux-material worship, I do so cherish my metaphoric Golden-crown embellished with precious gems: Lovely-Lady Candice Leah! Caty! Becky! Z. Tyler! Lauren! Lexi! Anna Marie! Gabriella Leigh! Graig! (Grandpa Ted!) Alex! Jennifer! And All!

So very Blessed! When our girls were in school I’d have the horses tacked and ready for Fun-’n-games playing “Drown-Dad” racing and horse-playing in the creek. I often took Becky out of school to go drive the cart while I played gold; took the Z-Man, too. I cheated on the score card so he would win until he turned 12; then I couldn’t beat him! I had rescued Brother John back in his school days in a similar manner; that boy was always sick with a toothache or cough! Hmm!?

One hot August day I went to 7-11 to buy a lottery ticket. I got in line behind a 10-yesr-old boy with a huge Icee (Iced drink) and a hand full of change which he dropped on the counter. The clerk patiently counted the “short” coins and was about to tell the lad he didn’t have enough money. I motioned to give the boy his treasure and I paid the difference; the kid never knew!

But---I knew…and appreciated all of it! The hot-day! The young man who reminded me of “me”! His lacking change! My ample coin! His happy result! The lesson to the clerk! Happiness!

You do not need to “Direct” or “Search” or “Plot & scheme” to attain a Happy-Peace!

It’s all there---gift-wrapped by the Creator!...He Loves you! “Thy”-will be done! Amen!

Stop! Simply quit trying to sculpt a life you “thunk”-up! Allow His-will to be accomplished!

The easiest I discovered in 76 long years of trial-and-error is simply to humble Appreciate!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

 

I fully Appreciate such sentiment!

Amen! Amen! Amen!
