God, there is so much sadness in the world, I thank you for times of howling laughter with my son who shares my sense of humour to the letter.
God, there is so much pain in the world, I thank you for times of gentle hugs with my daughter who shares my love of soft blankets and wrapping up in them.
God, there is so much loss in the world. I thank you for my husband who stands firm and shares my conviction and faith in you, in us and in a better way to live.
Today I am thankful.
Amen
Peace be with you
