Writing in Snow

Thankful Thursday April 2, 2020

Istijlál (Majesty), 14 Bahá (Splendor) 177 B.E. Thursday, April 2, 2020

"Therefore, we must thank God that He has created for us both material blessings and spiritual bestowals. He has given us material gifts and spiritual graces, outer sight to view the lights of the sun and inner vision by which we may perceive the glory of God. He has designed the outer ear to enjoy the melodies of sound and the inner hearing wherewith we may hear the voice of our Creator."

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, 1

I give thanks to the Lord
for the sparrows
nesting in the pine tree.

I give thanks to the Lord
for the wind
blowing through the palm trees.

I give thanks to the Lord
for the bright sun
and blue sky.
