July 17

Gracious God, I thank you for the life which you have given me.  I thank you for this day.  I thank you for the people I will meet and those with whom I will work.  I thank you for my family and my friends.  I thank you for work to do which makes a difference in the world, and I thank you for the ability to do that work.  I thank you for the tasks which I am unable to complete, because then I am blessed to work with others who have skills and gifts which I do not have.  I thank you for all that I am not good at doing and the blessing of humility which my inadequacies grant me.  In gratitude, I pray, Amen.
