Help us to be grateful today, Loving God. It is easy for miss all the wonderful gifts that you provide each day when we are distracted by the events of each day. Help us to see the blessings that are right before us, the people who are important to us, the beauty of your creation that surrounds us and so much more. Let us revel in the wonder that is your creation so much that we escape from the anxiety and pressures that often invade our minds and take us from what you intend for us. May this day be filled with the complete joy you intend for us. Amen
