Dear God,

The deepest desire of my heart is to live a "gratitude bookend" life, one that begins and ends in gratitude, one that holds gratitude from one side to the other.  What is life without gratitude?

Even though I have a fear, worry and anxiety tucked deep into my heart regarding a family member, still I give thanks.  All around me there is the beauty of Autumn, love expressed by loved ones and joy in waking up and having a full life.  Yet, still there is this sorrow I carry and don't know how to best handle it.

I know I am not limited by this one hurt and disappointment.  I know life is bigger, greater and deeper.  I know the air I breathe is yours.  Take it away and I die.  I give thanks for this wondrous, clean living air of your spirit.

Loving God,

fix in me

a constant desire

to give thanks.

I want 

to always

express my gratitude

and give

my thanks.

May I

always bless you.

Love, Andrea
