Good things

It's important to treat as a bonus,
not a right,
every single good thing
that is given to us.
--Jean Watson, in Bereavement

Each thing I have received,
from Thee it came,
Each thing for which I hope,
from Thy love it will come,
Each thing I enjoy,
it is of Thy bounty,
Each thing I ask,
comes of Thy disposing.
--quoted by Calvin Miller, in Celtic Devotions
