Prayer

Prayer for happiness and joy

Dear Lord,

Thank you for all your blessings,

For my family, friends and neighbours.

Thank you for all the beauty

In the skies, the lakes and the mountains.

Thank you for all the excitement of celebration,

Birthdays, weddings and christenings.

Thank you for all the variety of animals, birds and insects.

Thank you for all the enrichment of music, art and literature.

Thank you for the amazing jigsaw of life!

What a beautiful picture is made when I place all these pieces together!

Thank you for the promise of eternity,

For the sacrifices you made so that I can be free,

Free to make my life into a glorious patchwork of thanksgiving

That carries me onwards to the promises of new heavenly pieces to add to all that I already hold.

Thank you.

Amen.
