Dearest God,

Each morning as I awaken you fill me with gratitude, gratitude for the new day, for the warmth of bed and home, for the anticipation of the joy of the day, for hope and faith and an abiding relationship with you.  I don't even have to consciously search for it.  It is already in my heart and mind and even on my lips.

How can this be so, O God?  It is yet another of your wondrous gifts.  Every day you fill us with not only your promises but your gifts.  I don't remember the day, the time or the place but I do know you filled me with gratitude.  Since then I have said at the end of my time on the earth, I want to have gratitude on my lips for you and all you give.  May it be so, Gracious God, may it be so.

God of all good gifts,

thank you

for this morning's gift.

Thank you

for gratitude

and appreciation

for life

and all

its wonders.

Thank you

for blessing me

so I

can bless you

right back.

Love always, Andrea
