Sweet Father,
I met you today, I met you today in the eyes of a stranger named Grateful. I could hardly believe my ears that someone would name their child that. She pranced into our store with her beautiful blue dress and I thought about what my life would be like if that was my name. And the truth is I think I would hate it. Because if we're having honest time here, and we are, I'm not grateful that much of the time and having a name like that you could never get away from the reminder.
Meeting her today, I'm reminded, yet again, of how much I'm grateful for and I added to that numberless list of mine that's growing by the day.
So we give you thanks today, we give you thanks for those moments of torrential tears and those moments of delicious laughter. We give thanks for everything under the sun.
Today we give you thanks.
We give you thanks because all is grace, all is above and beyond.
And we choose to be grateful. Help us to be more grateful.
We love you.
Amen.
