Expressing Gratitude
Gracious God, in the busyness of my day, I sometimes forget to stop to thank You
for all that is good in my life. My blessings are many and my heart is filled
with gratefulness for the gift of living, for the ability to love and be loved,
for the opportunity to see the everyday wonders of creation, for sleep and
water, for a mind that thinks and a body that feels. I thank you, too, for those
things in my life that are less than I would hope them to be. Things that seem
challenging, unfair, or difficult. When my heart feels stretched and empty and
pools of tears form in my weary eyes, still I rejoice that you are as near to me
as my next breath and that 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 eternal love. Amen.
