Knees on the floor.
Hands folded.
Head bowed.
In this space
I am thankful
for it all.
The awe-inspiring peaks.
The gut-wrenching valleys.
The mundane middle ground.
These paths have
developed my mind,
expanded my heart,
refined my soul.
You have gifted me
love, joy, peace,
grace, and mercy
along the way.
Today I receive it all,
heart wide open,
in humble gratitude.
Thank you.
My Father,
My Teacher,
My Friend.
Thank you.
Grit, Gratitude, and Grace
