Dear God,
I am here to praise you for my many blessings.
I am an American. I am FREE and give my deepest respect to those who have defended FREEDOM so that I could feel this freedom to speak, write and choose that is being American. My life is a gift from conception to this current moment and I give you all the GLORY for giving this time, this breath of life in this great country.
I know in my heart, my soul you are present. I feel the Holy Spirit inside me constantly reminding me that I am a child of God and I am HIS child from conception to eternity. I know that YOU are my rock, that YOU carry my burdens for me. I know that I can sit quietly and feel your gift of the HOLY SPIRIT alive inside me. You have given me life for YOUR purpose, a purpose I may never know. My LIFE is greater than MY world.
Today I am asking your blessings be rained upon a dear, dear friend and relative. I am asking that she be blessed with positive energy, comfort, strength, and to start her healing process. I must also ask that for her early teen grandsons who will bury their mother next to their father in the coming days. Hearts are broken, healing is needed I pray their needs will be met and their memories bring smiles.
Today I also pray for my health, be it what it is, your blessings will get me through these next few steps. I KNOW you will be with me as I climb this next mountain. I pray and beg you to allow me to walk again without pain and am able to keep up with the other walkers. Seems I am waving everyone on by right now, I just can't keep up but I do get there. I am learning to watch others as I take the time to test each step before taking it. I am blessed to be able to be more present for each moment, for waving others on by as I take the time to feel each step forward.
As I sit here looking out my window sipping hot coffee I am feeling grateful, blessed and restful. I am listening to music and talking with God. My life has been hard, difficult and more difficulties lie ahead. But I know my life is greater than my world. That God has sent me here for HIS reason.
Thank you for my breath of life, this moment and my tomorrows.
