my prayer today...

Oh, Dearest Jesus...
Today we are thankful...
thankful for breath...
thankful for active,
       loving boys...
thankful for each day
       You give us...
thankful for the change of seasons...
thankful for friends...
thankful for a walk
        with You...
thankful for warm blankets...
thankful for coffee visits...
thankful for memories...

Please hold us close
       as we trust You
              and wait for You to do a mighty work...

You do not give to just take away...
You have a good plan...
You can see the whole picture...
You bring moisture to the desert...
You paint the sky each morning and evening...
You cause the birds to sing
       and the flowers to bloom...
Blessed be Your Name.
