Good Morning, God,
Lord, we sometimes call Wednesdays "hump day" because once we're finished with Wednesdays we're "over the hump" for the work week and can look forward to the soon-coming weekend.
This may be true and helpful for our minds to think, but there is the getting over other humps for which we can give thanks today. We can give thanks that Gabrielle Giffords is over the hump in her healing from her gunshot wound in the head down in Arizona. We can give you thanks that once again we have been able to make it over the hump of the Martin Luther King, Jr., recognition day without violence, but with respect and thoughtful consideration. We can give you thanks that we don't have the same humps to get over as the Tunisians, the Iraqi's, the Haitians and others around the world, who daily face the devastation from wars, weather and poverty.
Loving Lord, we give you thanks for all the times you have helped us over our humps, and may the humps we still face be made small.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
