I'm Thankful
God of all blessings, source of all life, giver of all grace. I'm thankful for the gift of life, for the breath that sustains life, for the food of this earth that nurtures life, without You, there would be no life.
I'm thankful for the mystery of creation, for the beauty that my eyes can see, for the joy that the my ears may hear, for the unknown that I cannot behold filling the universe with wonder, for the expanse of space that draws me beyond the definitions of myself.
I'm thankful for setting me in communities, for my parents, siblings, and relatives who nurture my becoming, for my children who lighten my moments with delight, for my LOVEY who love me by choice, for my friends and companions at work, for all the men and women of our military forces, for strangers who welcome me into their midst, for people from other lands who help and support world peace, and for all the children of the world who offer us hope for the future.
I'm thankful for this day, for life and one more day to love, for opportunity and one more day to work for peace, equality, and prosperity, for my neighbors and one more person to love and by whom be loved, for your grace and one more experience of your presence, for your promise, to be with me, to be my God, and to give salvation.
For these, and all blessings, I'm Thankful, eternal, loving God,through Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
