end of a Monday

Lord,
Thank you for all of the blessings in my life, both big and small.  Thank you for my beautiful family, our amazing friends, all of the people in our lives who pray for us without even knowing us.  Thank you for warm blankets and a full pantry, for warm, clean clothes and for work a plenty.  Thank you for our amazing little ones, they and my husband have taught me so much about myself in the past twelve years.  Thank you for our hardships and trials, they teach us how we don't want to live and they provide us with experiences to share with others who are going through tough times.  I pray I live your word, and act out the words I read and repeat.  Remind me to pray all the time, whenever I feel weak or sad or jealous or tired or uncertain.  Remind me to pray when I am overwhelmed with joy.  Give me quiet moments to remember that you love me and if you can forgive me, then the least I can do is forgive others who hurt me.  I can also forgive myself.  Help me have a soft heart towards my husband and love and respect him, you are my father in law after all.  I am in love with your son, how lucky am I?  Help me remember that, Lord.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen
