Grateful for this Visit

I’m grateful for this time I’ve had
it has been really great, not bad
so wonderful the kids to see
and with my wife in person to be

I enjoyed the early morning walks
so that we could have uninterrupted talks
After the bad storms on Friday, which delayed my flight
the weather has been gorgeous, a true delight.

Thank you for this opportunity, Lord
to see my family, in my in-laws’ abode
their generosity in hospitality astounds
despite the challenges (of living together), grace abounds

Now tomorrow, again, into yet another plane I’ll pile
wishing I could just stay in one place for a while!
This season of travel has been pretty crazy
yet good, with little chance to be lazy

God, help me Your face daily to seek
that in Your Word I might find strength, though I am weak
Help me to hear well what You have for me
& to become the person You want me to be!

For these experiences I feel so
…grateful.
