Reflection

Lord,

Let me wake up every morning

and be thankful for the wonderful

life that You have given me.

Help me to see the good in things.

Help me to be happy with who I am

and the life I am living.

Lead me down the path You have set for me.

Guide me in the way that

I get to show the world my gifts.
