Thank You, God

Thank You, God,
not only for the moments I noticed,
but for the times You blessed me anyway.

Thank You, God,
not only for the things accomplished today,
but for the moments You loved through me.

Thank You, God,
for every miracle overlooked,
but not unappreciated.

Amen.

Thank You, God,
for this day and all it held,

for the moments when I stepped aside
and let You love through me
and for the moments when I stepped in the way,
and learned the difference between the two.

Thank You, God,
for this day and all it held,

for the creativity expressed
and the resistance to change,
for the graciousness extended
and the selfishness retained.

Thank You, God,
for this day and all it held,

for lessons learned,
for lessons unlearned, and
for lessons unobserved.

Thank You, God,
for this day and all it held,

for the times I got it right,
and the times I got it wrong,
for the times I needed to be right,
and for the times I felt I was wronged.

Thank You, God,
for this day and all it held,

for while I was busy trying to figure it all out
You were busy loving me exactly as I am.

Thank You, God.

Blessings,
David
