A few months back I was having a couple of bad days.  A bad week.  The details are irrelevant.  The point is that in the midst of it I was reminded of what an amazing blessing each moment is.  Every breath is a gift from God, and He deserves our praise.

As I lay in bed feeling sorry for myself, and then being reminded of that truth, I put a few words down to help me remember in the future.  Given the situation in our nation/world these days, I thought someone else might need the encouragement as well. 

 

Every Moment is a Miracle 

 

Every moment is a miracle,

Every breath is a blessing,

Every sunrise should make hearts joyful

Every sunset, cause to sing

 

We take for granted so many things

The simple gifts in our lives

The refreshment which a kind word brings

The love of husbands and wives

 

In times of suffering and trial

We are tempted to forget

These hardships are only for awhile

Our God will deliver yet

 

Meanwhile He continues to provide

Each blessing both great and small

Each breath and heartbeat we feel inside

Our God in love grants them all

 

So even in depths of grief in pain

When everything seems adrift

Look for the simple joys that remain

Our gracious God's daily gifts.

 

Every moment is a miracle,

Every breath is a blessing,

Every sunrise should make hearts joyful

Every sunset, cause to sing.
