Lord, thank you for the blessing of each day

Thank you for the gift of my four children

And my seventeen grandchildren

Yesterday was Jon, my middle son's, 40th birthday

Where has the time gone?

Forgive me for wasting the blessing of time

So many years unaware of your presence

Ignorant of your prayers for me (Luke 22:32)

Unworthy of your eternal love

Yet you have endured, never giving up on me Your plan for my life has always been in place

You have guided me without any acknowledgement

All along your mercy, grace and love have been bountiful

My family is only a small portion of your blessings

May I find in your grace the time to be quiet and attentive

Listen to you, obey you and serve you To learn how to love and serve my fellow man 
 A

ll for your glory.
