Dear Lord:
I want to take a minute to praise you for all that I am blessed with. First, my wife and my best friend. Thank you for her caring heart. For her gentle touch. Thank you that you have given me someone who supports me, and loves me even though I am as unlovely as can be. Life without her is unimaginable. She personifies many great things about you. She is forgiving. She is patient, She is kind.
Thank you for my oldest daughter. It honors me that she wants to be like me. It is perhaps the most uplifting compliment I could receive. She is funny. She is fruity. She is beautiful and smart. She is caring and gentle and kind to others when they may not even notice. She harbors no malice.
Thank you for my second born. Her beauty is in her bliss. Teach me, Lord through her bliss how to unplug and just be. She befriends anyone.
Thank you for my third born. She is feisty and full of life. She is energetic, passionate and a treasure to be with, even when she is angry. I pray that you would open her eyes to more of the veauty in life and less of the injustice.
Thank you for my youngest girl. She is so overflowing with love she is like a new puppy bouncing around ready to love on anyone who will make eye contact. She brings vibrancy to this home.
Thank you for the opportunity to finish school. I have learned so much even though I don't want to admit it.
Thank you for each new day and my less than perfect heart as a reminder that each one is a gift.
