One of the things I love about our class is the endless variety of writers and thinkers. This is Jacqui’s ABC list – an expression of the way she thinks and lives.
Angels that are always watching over me.
Beauty of colorful trees and falling leaves in
Autumn.
Compassionate and caring people in my life.
Doors of opportunity that God opens before me.
Experiences that have made me who I am today.
Friends and family members who I love and
cherish.
Grace to accept all people just as they truly
are.
Hope of a home on high when this life is
finished.
Inspirational moments when my imagination soars.
Jesus, who is my Savior and the Lord of my life.
Kind and gentle words spoken at just the right
time.
Love and laughter and time spent with special
friends.
Many precious memories for which I am truly
grateful.
New friends who are like jewels in my treasure
chest.
Oh, "Nothing says lovin' like something
from the oven".
Prayer, peaceful music, pumpkin pie and playful
puppies.
Quiet evenings of serenity when my neighbors go
to sleep.
Understanding others, and being understood as
well.
Voices of my wonderful, chatty pals on the
telephone.
Warm and cozy blankets on a cold, Winter's
night.
Xcellent life that fills my heart with joy
unspeakable.
Years spent with the best parents and siblings
in the world.
Zeal for what lies ahead because "the best
is yet to come".

We are certainly blessed aren't we!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Jacqui, your poem is a refection of your essence, in the way that you are lovely, serene, and full of grace. I want to be like you when I grow up (some more).
ReplyDeleteJacqui this poem is so you. It is who you are and what you are. It is what you live and what you think. Your love for the Lord is so very evident in all your writings and most perticularly in this poem of Thanksgiving. You are one beautiful witnessing Chrisatian.
