Wednesday Prayer

Thank you for a new day

Thank you for time to pray

Thank you for the sun that chases the blues away

Thank you for seedlings breaking through the soil and the blossoms adding colors to the trees

Thank you for the sound of the birds outside my window (not so much the poop on my car)

Thank you for each breath

There is so much to pray for dear God, so much…

But right now, I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.

May my living this day be a sacrifice of praise and gratitude.

Amen.
