A prayer of thanksgiving

(Just wanted to share this poem, this is not mine -credits to the owner. Got this from a Daily Devotional App)


Jesus, thank You for life and all it involves. When something goes wrong, we often say, "That's life!" But life is so much more than the little things that don't turn out the way we wish they had.

Waking up each morning with eyes that see and ears that hear —that's life!

Talking with a child and catching a glimpse of the world through those innocent eyes—that's life!

Pausing in the middle of a hectic day to watch a bird soar or a butterfly flit among the flowers—that's life!

Chatting with an old friend and remembering just how special that friendship is—that's life!

Receiving an unexpected word of encouragement—that's life!

Holding a newborn baby and catching his first smile—that's life!

Walking in nature, taking in its sights

breathing that fresh air—that's life!

Lying down to sleep at night and thanking God for all the blessings that the day brought—that's life!
