+
For a life that brings me such great joy, even out of sorrow and tragedy.
+
For the stars and the moon that grace the night sky, and for the sunrise and
sunset that make the sky burst with color.
+
For the miracle of creation that sustains me, and never ceases to amaze me.
+
For a wife who’s just sane enough to keep our life under control, but just
crazy enough to keep it interesting.
+For
two perfect little girls who go out of their way to let me know they love me,
and who laugh at my stupid jokes (sometimes).
+For
parents who raised me right, and for a brother and two sisters who together
with me had a lot of fun trying not to be raised right.
+For
my mother’s meatloaf, and my wife’s brisket.
+For
friends who make me laugh, and neighbors who make me apple cake.
+
For men and women who risk their lives to protect me and my family, and for all
who have died for our freedom.
+
For a Church with wonderful traditions and ancient rituals, and for chubby,
squealing babies who remind us that our Church is alive and has a future.
+
For priests and deacons who show me the way to God, and for parishioners who
show me the face of God.
+
For the gift of prayer, where I meet you in my heart.
For
all of these things, and many, many more, my Dear God, I thank you.
