Is she grateful for anything but flowers, you may ask? 

I am. Lord, I am.

Thank You for the fur and purr of cats.

Thank You for a cozy reading nook, and sunbeams through sheer curtains.

Thank You, Lord, for books. Thank You for giving us a Book.

Thank You for blue and white, and for all color. 

Thank You for simple, quiet pleasures. Thank You for inspiring Paul to write, "Aspire to lead a quiet life." 

Thank You for families, health, and provision.

Thank You for purpose, help, and salvation.

Thank You for new mornings, cozy nights, friendly conversations, and the privilege of even being. Of drawing breath.

Thank You for Your presence, Lord. Thank You for creation. Thank You for You.
