A Poetic Word

THANK YOU

By Debra Jackson

Perhaps you invited me to dinner. Thank you.

I don't usually mind eating dinner alone, but just not that night. My four walls
were closing in on me.

Perhaps you sent me a birthday card. Thank you.

All of my friends and family are deceased.

Your card was the only card I received.

Perhaps you donated clothes to a local charity. Thank you.

Your unwanted clothes became my much needed clothes when I lost everything
a few months ago.

Perhaps you smiled at me in the grocery store. Thank you.

You didn't know that not five minutes before, someone ran into me with their
cart, stared right at me and didn't say a word.

Perhaps you spoke words of correction to me. Thank you.

Your words initially stung. The truth usually does. Once I thought about what
you said and received it into my spirit, I realized that you were correct. I am a
much better person today because of it.

Perhaps you sang a song in church Sunday. Thank you.

You didn't want to sing that song but you did. The words touched my heart and
ministered to me.

Perhaps you offered to have my God-given angels spend the night with you.
Thank you.

They were about to get spankings that they didn't 100% deserve.

I want to take today to say, "Thank you."

I thank God for you in my life.

I am not going to wait another day, another week or another minute to tell you
how much I appreciate you.

Thank,God, for your obedience.

Things do not happen "by chance".

God is our PILOT not our co-pilot, nothing happens "by chance".

Whether you are part of my church family or my biological family,

THANK YOU!!!
