Most Holy God,

Thank You. Thank You for the most beautiful early morning sky I've seen in awhile. A crescent of the moon. Along with stars in the darkness. Beautiful. Yes, thank You Father.

Thank You for simple pleasures. Thank You for small delights. Thank You for reminding me yesterday to be grateful. Gratitude. It was a great word for us. Consciously remembering to turn to You when attitudes got grumpy waylaid quite a few upsets.

Thank You especially for the presence of mind to confess genuine awkwardness when not knowing what to do in the resolution of a certain problem. Father, You have so very much to for us to learn. Thank You for making us teachable.

Today is another new day. Ripe with possibilities. Show us how best to use it to Your good and to Your glory.

We love You. We long to serve You well. We ask You to empower and embolden us to that end. Thank You Father. Bless us and keep us... (Numbers 6:24-26). Thank You. Amen.
