Sweet Blessings--By Christine Tate--United States

Sweet Blessings

I love how the Lord sends me a treat,
unexpected and simple but always sweet...
outside my window I watch deer munch,
enjoying their supper, breakfast or lunch...
while grazing on leaves they perk up their ears,
sensitive to all the sounds they hear...
soon they start moving so gracefully
sampling the berries left on trees.
Together they travel without a care,
because God's provision is everywhere...
I don't have to wait for a big surprise,
sweet blessings pass daily before my eyes!

Christine Tate has been writing since 1994. She's the mother of 3 sons and has 8 grandchildren. She was widowed in 2007 and met her husband Artie, a widower with 6 children & 12 grandchildren, in a nursing facility where their mothers resided. They've been happily married 4 1/2 years. They describe their meeting as "God's divine appt." because of their faith, and the fact that they swore they'd never marry again.
