Dear God, in the busy-ness of my days I sometimes forget to stop and thank You for all that is good in my life. My blessings are so many, and my heart is filled with gratefulness for the gift of living, for the ability to love and to be loved, for the opportunities I have to see the wonders of your creation every day, for sleep and water, for a mind that thinks and a body that feels. I thank you, too, for those things that are less than I would hope them to be. Things that seem challenging, unfair and difficult.
When my heart feels stretched and oh so empty and pools of tears form in these weary eyes of mine, still I rejoice that you are as near to me as my next breath. I know in the midst of turbulence I am growing and learning. In the silence of my soul, I thank you most of all for your unconditional and never-ending love.
