Take what God gives, O
heart of mine
and build your house of
happiness.
Perchance some have
been given more;
But many have been
given less.
The treasure lying at
your feet,
Whose value you but
faintly guess,
another builder looking
on,
Would barter heaven to
possess

We do have to be grateful for what we have.
ReplyDeleteA lovely poem and very appropriate at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Jo-Anne. We are to be grateful for what we have, for God knows what we need. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteWe have no choice to take what we've given.
ReplyDeleteNice words.
I'll say that I am grateful every day and night for what I have..however little or large it may be. Even things seemingly insignificant, aren't and I am grateful for those too.
ReplyDeleteSandie.......I agree
ReplyDeleteRosie.......It is
Nancy.......Thank you
Diane b........Thanks
Margaret d........So true
Karen......I feel the same way
Appreciation, sometimes we're so good at it and other times we need to be reminded.
ReplyDeleteKaren......So true
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteLove that poem and we both often have used the comparison, we might not have much or not a big home or whatever, but it is for sure a lot more than most people on this planet!
Gratitude is a great virtue.
Now, up to fighting the final Proofs of all our 12 finished and uploaded chapters. Had to get the more professional Adobe Pdf for being able to edit. We're often forced to learn something at 'old'er... age! Keeps the brain focused and it might be just great for the times we're forced to live in at present.
So many crazy people that don't know anything decent to do with their time, often living off others.
Hugs,
Mariette
