Without a single exception, Lord,
every good gift in the whole of my life
comes from your loving and generous hand…
My family and friends who love and care for me,
who listen to me and accept me,
who guide me and challenge and comfort me:
each of them is your gift to me…
Every step I take in the right direction,
every decision I make that’s honest and fair,
every change I make to be true to myself,
every thought I have that leads to peace,
every deed I do to help another:
each one of these is a gift of your prompting…
Every time I stop to look within,
every moment I pause to ask your pardon,
every prayer I whisper to ask for help,
every time I thank you for all my gifts,
every thought I have that leads to you:
each one of these is your gift to me,
a gift of your Spirit stirring within me…
Without a single exception, Lord,
every good gift in the whole of my life
comes from you, from your mercy and love…
And here are the gifts I’m grateful for today:
