Everyday...I Am Thankful

Every night before I sleep,
I say my prayers and give thanks.

In the morning when I wake up,
I clasp my hands and thank God.

I thank God for giving me another day, to live it with meaning and reason.

I thank God for my parents, My Mom Flora and Dad Irving, They are the most gracious, generous loving parents and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

I thank God for my Brother Gil and Sisters Imelda & Monet,
they have showed me over and again, that
blood is thicker than water.
Thank you for always being there for me.

I thank God for Dickie,
through the years he has always been there for me.
I pray every night, every day,
that He bless him and heal him...Please pray for him too.

I thank God for my family and friends,
(You know who you are)
they complete me and keeps me grounded,
I thank them all for life's simple joys and comfort
that they bring me everyday.

I thank God for my pets (Patrick, Bertram, Paris & Pepito)
though they are far from me at the moment
they give me joy and little smiles
everyday.

I thank God for my boss,
He is a wonderful example of
generosity, compassion and kindness.

I thank God for my job,
though it is stressful, I am thankful
to have one.

I thank God for the people who test my patience,
because of them I can practice being kind
and self control.

I thank God for all of the blessings
that comes my way...

...I am thankful everyday
for all these blessings that come my way,
eventhough there are struggles and pain,
burdens and heart aches...

..I am GRATEFUL for the gifts
that most of us seem to take for granted.
If we don't share the love now,
when will you make it happen?
