I’M FINE


When someone asks me how I am, I always say, “I’m fine.”
It really is the truth because I’m blessed with joy divine/


I probably could talk awhile about each ache and pain,
And hope my telling them would cause some sympathy to gain.


And what about my other problems that I face each day –
The ones that drive me to my knees before the Lord to pray?


I feel His love come tumbling down when joyfully I raise
My heart in humble gratitude as my dear Lord I praise.


Each day I see the miracles of His sweet, loving care,
In Nature’s bountiful array of beauty everywhere.


I have so many blessings – far too numerous to count,
And only Heaven will reveal, some day, the vast amount.


So when you ask me how I am, I truthfully will say,
“I’m fine!” And then I’ll ask the Lord to richly bless your day.
