Thank you Heavenly Father for the many blessings thou has granted unto me all the days of my life.  In life's trials thy love has revealed unto me that we are each precious in thy sight.  Living away from thy presence is like living away from bliss of mother's embrace.  I am attacked in spirit from on all sides with ungodly temptations and have sunk to the pit of distress yet thou has heard my prayers for help and brought me back up unto thy grace each time.  Thou has comforted me with thy words and took my thoughts from cares of this world to remind me of thy enduring goodness that surrounds me here and much that awaits me in thy kingdom.  Thy mercy rules over me with protection, blessings, and joy in performing thy work.  Thank you for the pleasures of hobbies, beauty of thy nature, and lightness of my steps for each day brings happiness of its own along with every kind of trouble.  Thank you for my holy home and my precious children who has embraced thy word and acknowledges thy work in all good things.  Thank you for my ability to praise thy name and understanding of thy sweet words thou has given me.  Thank you for the comfort of my bed and sun rays on my window.  Thank you for pleasures of food and wonderful books, lovely paintings, and inspiring songs.  Thank you for the colors that brings about creativity, and hands that accomplishes all things.  Thank you for our freedom to choose all things for our own good and our ability to grow in mind and spirit.  Thank you for joy of humor and support of friends.  Thank you for the joy of writing and plays in the snow, and comfort of summer.  Thank you for tickles and excitement of story telling, pleasure of desserts and hearty soups. Thank you for kindness of strangers and children's joy in simple things in life.  Thank you for continuance of change and growth in our selves and ambitions in our hearts to make progress.  Thank you for pets of all kinds and allowing us to rule over the nature and partaking of its fruits.  Thank you for faithfully sustaining me with breath of life and with work that allows me to provide for my needs.  Thy mercy and hope for me are beyond my vision  and thy love stands abound beyond all understanding of human heart.
