Thank You Lord

‘‘Thanks be to God!’’

Today I feel like saying,

Thanks…

ThanksThanks… for everything God gives us abundantly - health, happiness, and prosperity.

ThanksThanks… for the hard lessons that have helped me to know myself and others better.

Thanks…

ThanksThanks… for the failures I have stomached – they have taught me humility,

the obligation to never sleep on my laurels, and the necessity to understand the failures of other people

who, just like me, at times do need a helping hand.

ThanksThanks… for the opportunities to cultivate patience, tolerance, and hope.

Thanks…

ThanksThanks… for multiple discoveries of reality and truth.

ThanksThanks… for good things I’ve grasped and bad things I’ve dodged,

for solutions I’ve found and talents I’ve grown, for victories I’ve earned and beautiful days I’ve lived.

Thanks…

ThanksThanks… for the parents who loved me and the friends I’ve met,

the teachers who taught me and the books I’ve read, the journeys I’ve made and the meals I’ve had.

ThanksThanks… for the sceneries I’ve admired and the sun I’ve watched, the flowers I’ve gazed at and the air I’ve breathed.

Thanks…

for the growing awareness that God is tending me despite my mistakes, protecting me despite my weaknesses,

loving me despite my flaws, and finding solutions for me despite my stubbornness.

ThanksThanks …

Thanks…

…… for the joy oh so simple of feeling that I am

‘‘alive’’!

And thanks be to God…

... for every morning that I wake up

to find yet another day to live and love. Thank you God for the breath of life!

God Bless…

Have a Wonderful Day!
