Just a Quick Prayer of Thanksgiving To Whatever Is Making It All Happen

I'm about to make the stuffing and get that bird in the oven. All the kids are still asleep and the rain is coming down. Thank-you, thank-you.
Thank-you, too, for the music last night and the friends and the family and the dancing and the singing and the sharing of hearts. Thank-you for letting me have loved people whom I can still love thirty-something years on. Thank-you for new folks whose places in my heart have been staked out. Thank-you for the children who are coming behind us with so many special gifts and light of their own. Thank-you for their beauty and the joy they bring me.
Thank-you to the man I love for seeing this dream with me and working so hard to make it happen.
Thank-you for this life and it's incredible fullness.
Thank-you.
Amen.

  4. Ms. Moon,

    I must say this:

    I believe that your prayer, pure and straight from the bottom of your heart, is the kind of prayer that God apreciates the most.

    BFF,
