"Tea And Scripture" by

“Simple Things”

It’s the simple things that bless us most
like our morning coffee with jam and toast
An early sunrise with the birds in song
or a favored tune for us to sing along

The kiss of the dew on the morning grass
takes me back in time to an early past
When life seemed simpler than it is today
there seemed to be time for childlike play

Remind me dear Lord to love you most
while I drink my coffee and eat my toast
Smelling a rose in the early dawn
enjoying the music of natures song

Especially now as days end is near
and I’m told that these are the golden years
Let me find great joy in the simple of pleasures,
like seeing the sunrise as a chest of treasure

Thank you Lord for all you’ve done
for the greatest of gifts your beloved Son
He’s given us reason to laugh and say
there’s still time left for childlike play

    I am placing a new banner here and hopefully you can see this one. Please let me know. Sometimes a link is lost and then strange things happen. If you see this one you can delete this message and the other ones where the banners use to be. Hopefully we will fix the problem this way

  • Thank you Sandy, I see it fine. I really appreciate your help……Barbara
