I’m grateful for people who graciously bear with me
when I’m cranky, tired and grouchy…
I’m grateful for people who fill in for me
when I’ve got too much to do…
I’m grateful for people who’ve got my back
without my even knowing…
I’m grateful for people I work with every day
– and who make my work my joy…
I’m grateful for people who may not even know
how great a gift they are to me…
and who I often taken for granted…
I’m grateful for people who hold me in their heart
I’m grateful, Lord, for you: my rock, my strength, my hope,
my shelter and my shield…
I’m grateful for the untold ways you lead me through each day
and help me make it through the night…
I’m grateful for your mercy, your pardon and forgiveness
For all the help that’s mine from you and others in my life:
I give you thanks and praise, Lord,
