Thought for the day

One of my dearest friends took time to talk with me last night and shared a prayer with me that was given to her. It truly touched me and I think it can apply to anyone and anything that you are or may be going through. I hope that in reading it, it can come to life for you as well. Here it is:

Thank you for the gift of learning to live 24 hours at a time.
No undue looking back, except with fondness.
No fear of the future, but only the expectant wonder of what tomorrow's dawn will bring.
Today we were healthy, well-fed, and warm.
Today we loved, and were loved in return.
Who knows of tomorrow?
It is enough that today you shared the riches of your bounty with us.
It is enough, Lord, that you have been here.
For this blessed, yet triumphantly normal day - and for all the days to follow - I give you thanks, my Lord.
So be it.
Amen.
