Did I Ever?

Dearest Lord,

Did I ever?

Did I ever thank You

In so many words

For the Father that You are to me?

For giving me all the best in the world

Than I would ever deserve

Did I ever thank You

For always knowing what I need

In any given time

And being tremendously generous

In giving me exactly that, every time

Did I ever thank You

For coming to my rescue

When no one else did

Or for vindicating me

Even setting a table before me

For all who considered me their enemy to see

Did I ever thank You

For picking me up

From the miry clay

I have been comfortable wallowing in

For so long

And never hesitating to do it

Over and over and over again

Did I ever thank You

For tugging me up

When I sulk at the corner

Thinking the worst of myself

And for quietly holding my hand,

Putting up with my senseless doubts and fears

When all the while

You were preparing the best portion for me

If I haven’t, then I am saying

THANK YOU. Just cause, You are

…my Greatest Love

…my Shelter from life’s storm

…my Encouragement

…Giver

…Healer

…Peace amidst fear

…Light in the Dark

You are my Best Friend and I love You.
