“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.
Please pray with me: Life-giving God, in the beginning You fashioned,
formed, and loved us into being. You
breathed in the breath of life that is still swirling and stirring here and
now. Thank you, for this most beautiful
day. Thank you for this one precious and
wild life. Thank you for those whose
love reminds me in real ways of Your love that will not let me go. Thank you, God, for small ways that I
experience Your goodness. Thank you for
a vision of gratitude that sets my feet toward a different destination than the
one preached and proclaimed by the voices of the world. Thank you that these two words can
re-order how I see what was, is, and will be.
May this attitude of gratitude not just be some platitude for this
summer day, but a way of being in the world for the rest of the year. May I join in the prayer and praise of the
Samaritan who came back to Jesus with thanksgiving, may that truth interrupt me
in holy ways this day and for countless days to come. Amen.
