Thanksgiving Blessings for all the little things in life
It is always and everywhere
in the little things
that God most manifests
His greatness and grandeur
His most ardent and adamant love for us
His magnificent and majestic gestures
of touching our heart
mind and soul
causing a tear drop to well up in misty eyes
to roll down the cheek in gratitude
for a love so exquisitely divine
that nothing or no one can match it
much less surpass it
A sunset is such a little thing
that happens every day
the brilliant splash of an array of colors
cascading on a canvass of richly textured hues
a picture perfect portrait lighting up the sky
a backdrop greeting the night time
as it is inevitably approaching
to bring to an end another day of life
A smile is such a little thing
that happens upon millions of people
throughout the world
the face of another
illuminated with depth and warmth
that overflows and spills out
radiating joy beyond understanding
encompassing the totality
of what it means to be alive
A sentimental song
is such a little thing
that is heard hundreds of times
throughout a life time
enraptured and enthralled
by the symphonic melodic tunes
and symbolic inspired lyrics
that flood the innermost recesses of our being
where we truly come in contact
with our most authentic and genuine self
that produces a profoundly poetic image
of our most vulnerable humanity
A sweet smelling scent
is such a little thing
that happens
whenever a whiff of gently blowing breeze
brings it to our surroundings
deeply inhaling the exhilarating
and intoxicating aroma
triggering nostalgic memorable images
of bygone happier times
and more pleasant and pleasurable places
that soothe and smoother the senses
creating an ethereal environment
of calmness, serenity and tranquility
For such lovely little blessings
and millions upon millions more
are truly gifts from God
they are God saying
I love you
to each and every one of us
