I read someone's prayer blog and thought I could try a transcriber program I have on my phone. This is my first attempt. I just had to edit it a tiny bit.
Dear Jesus, thank you so much for my life. Thank you for a roof over my head, food on the table, and for living in this beautiful place. Thank you also for my afflictions. I probably need them to keep me from running off doing my own thing. I'm very thankful for being kept in line - as hard as that is.
Thank you for how you guided me through my life. I'm old and weak and tired now. But I can still pray. I can enjoy my kids and my grand kids, even from afar.
Thank you for the Nigeria fellow I met outside the supermarket today. He gave me a spiel about his mom being sick in the hospital in Lagos. I gave him a few coins, and then I prayed for his mom. And he seemed to appreciate it. Please do preserve and heal his mom - if it's is true.
I get discouraged when I look upon the world. Gaza and Ukraine and Sudan and all the terrible things that are going on, and the crazy politicians.
The Iran affair and all the killing and bombing, I can't even begin to do the subject justice. It's such madness. Indescribably evil and sad. And yet we have this beautiful world, the amazing nature, the mountains, the forests, the fields. A blue sky. All the things. that is enveloping us. The beauty of your creation!
Why can't we have peace? Why do people always strive for more? I don't know why. But I'm just thankful for my little corner here. The little things, a few little things that I can do. I still have my website and the mail I'm sending out. I am afraid it doesn't amount too much, but I try the best I can.
I just want to thank you for this day. This beautiful day Lord! Help me to be grateful and to have a smile on my face in spite of everything.
In Jesus name. Amen.
