Life is a gift!
A simple prayer which came from a grateful heart during Adoration as I spent the last hours of my birthday with my Spouse before the Blessed Sacrament: For the gift of life, I praise you Lord. For the gift of family, I bless you Lord. For the gift of community, I thank you Lord. For the gift of friends, I glorify you. For the gift of another year, I stand in awe at your grace. For the gift of this day, I magnify you. For the gift of faith, I adore you. For the gift of experience, I stand surprised. For the gift of pain, I stand before you purified. For the gift of love, I strive to love you in return. For the gift of hope, I look to the future. For the gift of trust, I walk a slow steady journey. For the gift of being simply 'Louise', thank you Lord.
