Have I told you lately,
you are a blessing to me
have I expressed how much
in you, God’s grace I can see.
Have I let you know recently,
how much I appreciate you
have I conveyed in actual words
my gratitude for all you do.
Have I voiced my pleasure,
of just having you around
have I said, you lift me up
whenever I’m feeling down.
Have I uttered my thanks,
for your kindness and love
have I spoken I believe . . .
you’re my angel from above.
Have I told you lately,
what a blessing you are to me
have I expressed just how much
of Jesus ~ in you, I do see!

What a wonderful tribute to a true friend. Thank you for being a blessing to others, for what you see is the reflection of the blessing that you see in those whom you bless. Did you know that if you look into the eyes of someone who is standing close to you and the light is shining at a precise angle,you can see yourself reflected in their eyes. We are blessed to be a blessing, and you most certainly are a blessing to me and so many more..

I did not know that . . . but, would it not be nice if I need and I saw Jesus and not me in the reflection! I love sharing what God gives me and it is my prayer He will use it for His glory and to encourage others in their faith walk. ~ Have a blessed, joyful, peaceful New Year my friend in Christ ~

Oh my goodness. I have been a member there since the beginning. I knew Que when he and I were members on another site for poetry. I seldom write much anymore….I find it extraordinary that you can come from the same grief that I have been in and write through your pain about the beauty of God’s love. I pray for peace for you. I do hope you will find time to read some of the posts on my blog. God bless you.

I will have to log in and see some of your poems. What is your full name? I write what is in my heart and there is usually some pain in there, as well as lots of love and praise for my Lord. When I combine the two there comes deeper faith and hope. Writing is the best pain pill around 🙂 ~ Blessings in Jesus ~
