Good morning, good God!

 

I offer you my praise and thanks this day

    for the penetrating warmth of a kind word,

    for the pure intimacy of a hugger's hug,

    for the rare gift of a handwritten letter,

    for support from sources unforeseen, 

    for faith that lays my fears to rest,

    for nature, naked in my arms,

    for wisdom's playful visits to my soul,

    for songs that sing what I can't say,

    for time alone, my time with you,

    for tears that cleanse, in grief, in joy,

    for strength I've found where I've been mended,

    for trust that puts my doubts to shame,

    for dinners shared with long time friends, 

    for grace that comes with every dawn,

    for souvenirs that shape my heart,

    for peace that outlives loss and pain,

    for prayer that speaks without a word,

    for one more day to live, to love

        to offer up to you, 

            my Lord and God...

 

Amen.
