We are Blessed

We are so blessed that we can share bites during a meal
and sips of soda, juice, or iced tea.

We are so blessed that can we share embarassing moments
and the ensuing laughter that follows.

We are so blessed that we can share the simple joy
of holding hands in a mall, park, or just about anywhere.

We are so blessed that we can read each other’s thoughts
even if we’re in different places.

We are so blessed that we can give comfort to each other
in times when one of us is low.

We are so blessed that we can share hugs and kisses
and share love and warmth with each other.

We are so blessed that we can give thanks and praise to God
and to ask God for His forgiveness together.

We are so blessed that we can share the joy of enjoying God’s wonder
just by looking at the world around us.

We are so blessed that we have each other
and that we get to spend the rest of our lives together.
