Good morning, day, or evening my faithful brothers and sisters.  May we never grow complacent and may your wonders never fail to amaze and astonish.  This morning as I walked praying for all of you and your families I realized what a gift that is in itself.  To be able to direct all my attention on love as I speak with my Creator is impossible to truly payback, but try I must.  Thank You, God, for blessing me so richly.  Thank all of you for gifting me with your friendship and support.  I will leave you with this before my prayer:

William J. Toms “Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.”

Genesis 33:11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Please take my ^[a]gift which has been brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have ^[b]plenty.” Thus he urged him and he took it.

Abba, my Heavenly Father, the giver of life and every perfect gift. May I never grow tired of thanking You for the gift of waking each morning, my first thought being trained to acknowledge and praise You for this lovingkindness. I pray that we, Your children, would graciously give what we so freely received. That our gifting and giving would allow others to see Jesus in us. That they would be well received and directed by Your hand. I pray that we do this, not for us, and not for them, but always and forever for You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
