Blessed

Lord,

How can I even begin to count,
the many ways in which you have blessed me?
There aren't enough hours in the day,
to name them and give you thanks and praise.
So here I am before you, at this year's end,
to praise your for your blessings,
which come with no end.

I thank you for my family,
both here and far away.
For the wonderful friend,
who support and encourage me.
For the partner you have given me,
to live life together for you.
For the opportunities you have given me,
to be molded in your image.
For the purpose you have created me for,
to love others as you love.
For the person you have created me to be,
even though I constantly fall short.

Lord,
If I consider all that you have done for me,
I realize that my very existence is a blessing from you.
So even though I know I could never thank you enough,
May my heart sing your praises the rest of my days

Picture

Lord,
You've shown me a picture,
though clearly I can't see it,
And the pieces of that picture,
are scattered before me.

In seeking after you,
I have finally accomplished,
to put some pieces together,
yet so much still remains.

God,
I believe these pieces,
will come together on their own,
if I keep following the path,
down which your voice is leading

When the picture is finished,
and it becomes completely clear,
The door to that path will open,
and the new journey begins.
