Dear Father, Thank you for giving me
A few freinds who know me and love me still,
A thankful heart to give you praise always in everything,
A trusting mind to keep on believing in You,
no matter what the future holds,
A humble, pleasing personality with a teachable dispositon
A thoughtful, kind, and caring touch,
A forgiving and understanding spirit,
A loving and accepting attitude
to communicate Your Love to every life I touch,
A worthwhile work into which I can put muy best efforts
and help make my world a better place in which to live and
A life that will make a difference, not ony in my world,
In my street,and most of all, in my home.
Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer
Gratefully, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

“Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.”

Once in awhile a friend is found,
Who’s a friend right from the start,
Once in awhile a friendships made
That really warms the heart!

Once in awhile a friendships formed
to last a lifetime through.
It really does happen, just once in awhile–
It happened to me and to you!
