Thank You, Lord

Just this once, Lord, I want to come to you with no problems, but simply to say, Thank you:

For the forgiveness when I fall
For the sheer joy of sleep when I'm terribly tired
For the silent sterength of humility when pride overtakes me
For the justice of your laws when men are cruel
For the remedies for sickness when I am ill
For the simplicty of orderliness when I face confusion
For the assurance that you have made a place especially for me when I feel inadequate among my peers
For the joy of helping others when I see people in need
For the earthly evidences of your will when I'm trying to find out what life is all about
For the reality of your world, when I stray too far into fantasy
For the rightness of reasonableness when I panic too quickly
For the fun that refreshes when everything gets too serious
For the renewal in moments of silence when I'm dizzy being busy in a hectic world

Thank you, Lord, for all these things. But most of all, thank you for your abiding presence that makes every day I live a day of thanks.
