To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
Good morning! A little prayer to get this day started:
Dear God,
Thank you for another day. Thank you for my health. I want to do good today, God. Please help me to do and be my best.
Thank you. Amen
Dear god,
Please help me see things with a fresh perspective today.
When someone is talking to me, may I really listen to them.
If someone needs my help may I say yes.
May words of encouragement come out of my mouth and
may love be my guide.
I will do my best on all these things but
please forgive me when I slip up.
Thank you.
Amen
Dear God,
Thank you for this morning and new day. As my body wakes up I become more aware of the possibilities that are before me.
Thank you for my family.
Thank you for my health.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Amen,
Debra
God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you?” ~William A. Ward
Dear God,
Thank you for all of the gifts I enjoy in my life such as:
Waking up each morning to a sweet cat and husband who makes coffee for me each morning…
The smiles on my students faces when they know they have “got it!” during a lesson…
The beauty of my North Florida home: the unique birds, the trees and flowers, the ocean, the marshes and St. John’s river
The sweet little kiss that my 14 year old daughter gave me on my cheek last night before she went to bed…
All of things and so much more I feel thankful for, God.
I thank you for my life.
I thank you for these gifts.
Amen
Dear God,
Thank you for this sparkly new day full of energy and love. I am thankful for many things including: another day of life, my health, my family, and my comfortable home.
May I make the most of this day. If I or anybody near me is in need of healing please help us to make it so.
Thank you,
Debra
Twinkly eyes and

a new day ahead.

Thank you for this new day.
Every day of life is a gift.

Dear God,
Please help me to see what is the most deserving of my time and energy
and then help me to let the rest go.
May I make good use of the time given me today.
If healing needs to happen within me or with others who are in my life,
please help us all become the healthy and whole people you intended for us to be.
Thank you.
Amen.

Dear God,
Thank you for the “little things” that make life so wonderful:
An unexpected smile from a stranger,
hugs and encouragement from colleagues, friends, and loved ones..
a kind word here and there…
These little things mean so much. As I focus on them I become more aware and appreciative of all the many blessings, love, and support that I have in my life.
Thank you.

As I drink my coffee and set out to begin my day, I would like to offer my simple morning prayer:
Dear God,
Thank for this new day. I feel fresh with a rested body and a mind open to new possibilities.
I am thankful for my health, my sweet husband, kids, and cats…
I am thankful for our beautiful home here in North Florida.
I am thankful for my job and my many other projects that give me a sense of purpose, a creative outlet, an income, and many opportunities to help, inspire, and grow myself.
Please forgive me when I lose patience with myself and others. Please help to forgive myself.
Thank you God for this new day.
Debra

Dear God,
Thank you for this new day. It is early Fall here in North Florida. The season is newly changing. Cooler air brings a fresh new energy. Thank you for this time in the year which serves to remind us to pause from all our busy doings and perhaps slow down a bit.
I am thankful for many things. I can see all around me beauty and impermanence. This combination leaves me with the bittersweet feeling of awe, humility, and gratitude.
God, with your help, may I never take this precious gift of life for granted.
May I feel and express thanks more often than I complain.
May I connect, love, and help others today and every day.
Thank you for blessing me with a good night sleep, a fresh mind, and creative energy.
May I put this energy to good use.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Debra
