about

Draws on some ideas from “The Father Celebrates”, in Henri Nouwen's “Return of the Prodigal Son”, that have been pretty life changing for me.

lyrics

So many good gifts,
so many tastes of sweetness,
there's a lot of darkness here
that's why we need to treasure all the joy!

I've had to learn a thing or two in my life thus far.
One thing I know is that sadness grows
the more you see of life.

It's like I need to train myself to see
the shafts of light in the gloom,
but when I do a flood breaks through of deep gratitude.

I'm not saying you turn your back on the griefs you face.
You mourn your losses, but count each joy as a gift of grace!

Sun on my back in the middle of winter,
kissing a newborn's cheek,
beautiful coffee from my husband each day of the week.
Children laughing uncontrollably, tickling toddlers' tums,
seeing their imaginations fully on the run.
Playing my banjo in the recliner, singing silly songs.
Eating - oh! Too much to say here; shame it puts weight on.
Sunsets, oceans, clouds & trees, I cannot get enough!
So many beautiful things I lo o o o ove!

So many good gifts!
