Gratitude and Faith

December 29

“Let gratitude

be the pillow upon

which you kneel to say

your nightly prayer.

And let faith be the bridge

you build to overcome evil

and welcome good.”

 

~ Maya Angelou
.
Let us pray:

God, thank you for the morning.

Creator, I am grateful for your blessings;

the food, clothing and shelter.

Holy Spirit, I appreciate your grace;

the awesome people, places and things.

Lord, I believe that your love will help me

overcome my difficulties

and lead me down the pathway of

kindness, patience, tolerance and forgiveness.

Amen

Life is gratitude and faith.

Life is living and loving in the here and now.

The Good Things

056

.

“When you wish

someone joy,

you wish them

peace, love,

prosperity, happiness…

all the good things.”

.

— Maya Angelou

.

Peace, ignoring the harmless imperfections.

Love, unconditional for all of God’s creation.

Prosperity, may all of your needs be met.

Happiness, forgiving the past  enjoying the now,

and working for a better future.

Joy, the willingness to feel with the heart

rather than to think with the head.

Today, know and understand that when you

wish and pray for others to be blessed

we in turn bless ourselves.

Happiness is all of the good things.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
