that it is the common everyday blessings
of our common everyday lives
for which we should be particularly grateful.
I meet God in the morning
when the dew is on the grass
And a soft breeze trundles past.
I meet Him in the quiet spot
Beside the garden gate
While the birds come singing-winging,
He arrives; He’s never late.
I meet Him in the garden rows
He sends a butterfly to kiss
My shoulder or my hair, my face
A dew-new greeting I must not miss.
I meet Him as I kneel down
Plucking peas and pulling weeds
He meets me there and touches me.
With simple peace, He meets my needs.
I meet God in the morning
He goes with me through the day
I thank Him for the joy and love
He gifts me with along life’s way.
