Good Morning, God
Lord, thank you for yesterday and this day. Even though this day is one of the most hectic of the year, we are happy to be here. Yesterday reminded us that we have much for which to be thankful - for health and strength and daily food; for family, friends and faith.
Now, today and for the next several weeks, we have the opportunity to be a blessing for which to be thankful and receive joy. Lord, your word says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." So, today we are beginning to experience the joy that comes from giving.
We appreciate the gifts of the deep discounts on the items we want to buy. We appreciate the shopkeepers putting on extra help to accommodate our buying frenzies. We appreciate our imaginations that can be inspired with ideas for just the right gifts to give. And, Heavenly Father, from whom all good gifts come, we thank you for the gift of being loved and being able to love.
In Jesus name, Amen.
