APPRECIATE2 OF 2

Some drive the busesOthers sew our clothes.Some bag our groceriesOr sell shoes to cover toes.

Make me a blessing when I meetThose who care for others’ needs.Help me show appreciation,Returning kindness for their deeds.

“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 19:19 ESV).“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1 KJV).

Thank You for the farmersWho grow food and work the soil.Please bless both them and othersWho with the livestock toil.

And take care of the fishermenWho feed us from the sea,And the dairymen and everyoneWho provide food for all, plus me.
