I am grateful for the warmth of a sincere hug

I am grateful for the sparkle of a diamond

I am grateful for the delight of a child’s squeal

I am grateful for the design of a spider’s web perfectly spun

I am grateful for the twinkle in an eye

I am grateful for the healing that happens when tears are allowed to flow free

I am grateful for the hint of nice perfume

I am grateful for acceptance and a willingness to move forward

I am grateful for the tenderness of little fingers

I am grateful for the smoothness of a pewter art piece

I am grateful for a moonbeam

I am grateful for the complexity of rose petals unfolding

I am grateful for the miracle of stars that hang in the night sky

I am grateful for a gentle, cool breeze

I am grateful for the crease in a fine wrapping paper

I am grateful for the absence of sarcasm in my life

I am grateful for the calming peace of soft piano music

And I am grateful for His presence in me and His grace given
