Today i am thankful for people with amazing amounts of talent to paint and sculpt and create beautiful works of art and also for people with the means and the expertise to collect, preserve, and display these treasures in museums where my children and i can go enjoy them, and I am thankful for the opportunity to do just that today.

30 Day of Giving Thanks ~ 2

Almighty God, Father of all mercies,
we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks
for all your goodness and loving-kindness
to us and to all whom you have made.

We bless you for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for your immeasurable love
in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.

And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies,
that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise,
not only with our lips, but in our lives,
by giving up our selves to your service,
and by walking before you
in holiness and righteousness all our days;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,
be honor and glory throughout all ages. 

Amen.

from The Book of Common Prayer

Thirty Days of Giving Thanks ~ 1

A very autumnal morning here. I got to use my seat warmer when taking my brother-in-law to work this morning, because it was 43 outside. I am now enjoying a lovely fall sunrise with my tea.

Lord, thank You for this beautiful, peaceful morning and Your creation.  I love the signs and seasons, and You know that I particularly love this season.  Thank You that my family is safely tucked in inside this warm house, which You have provided.

The Lord has done great things for us;
    we are glad.

~Psalm 126:3
