Thanks

A year older, but certainly not a bit wiser.

I woke up this morning not feeling anything special.  Although today is my birthday,  I wasn’t really conscious about it.  As always, birthday or not,  I wake up with “thanks” in my heart.

Thanks that I am still alive.

Thanks that I am okay.

Thanks that I am able to do the things that I am doing.

Thanks that I am able to do the things that I like doing.

Thanks for keeping my family safe and healthy.

Thanks for taking care of us.

I am speaking to you Lord. There are just too many things to say.

Lord,  thank you for your patience,  thank you for not giving up on me,  thank you for saving me when I am in trouble, thank you for guiding me in making the right decisions, thank you for helping me when I make mistakes,  thank you for allowing me to enjoy the things that this world has…………………………………
