Dear God,

Sometimes we just need to do a blessing inventory!  This morning as I began my prayer, you brought to mind many blessings:  my daughter's meaningful visit with her father, the healing of my cousin following her transplant, international leaders banding together to help a suffering nation, connecting with a cousin after a long absence, my sister's willingness to attend a family member's memorial service for the first time in years following the murder of her son, and even more than this.

Lord, we need to begin our day in thanksgiving and praise for all you do for us.  This short list is way short of countless many blessings you give.  In fact, if we keep our eye on blessings, we will not become so obsessed by who and what we do not have. 

As this day unfolds, O God, I pray I will not only count my blessings but be a blessing to those around me.  

Thank you

for the

greatest blessing

of relationship

with you,

dear God.

You love all

your children

and invite

us all

into your embrace.

Thank you,

thank you,

thank you.

Love, Andrea
