• Gratefulness for dirty dishes?

  Lately, I've been thinking a lot about being gracious and how important that is and that often brings me to a poem I learned as a child.  My mom had it up in her kitchen and as I would do dishes for our large family, I would read it.  I think I had it memorized by the time I was in middle school.  The author of this poem is unknown, but it sure has meant a lot to me through the years.  Here it is:

  Thank God for dirty dishes.

  They have a tale to tell.

  While others may go hungry,

  We are eating very well!

  With home and health

  and happiness.

  We shouldn't want to fuss

  for by the 

  stack of evidence

  God has been good to us!!!
