Lenten Mercy~Meditation: Got Gratitude ~ You've Got The Spiritual Life



My eyes open 4:15 ~ the first prayer ~ thank you !
The moon is full ~ thank you!
It has snowed lightly ~ thank you!
Aware of taking this breath ~ thank you!
This scarf that someone has knitted ~ thank you !

I hear the stream which is rushing ~ thank you!
A small pine branch has fallen on the new snow ~ thank you!
I consciously hold the world's children in my heart ~ thank you!
Another breath ~ thank you!
The sunflower seeds at my feeder keep the chickadees from
  freezing this 12 degree night ~ thank you!

I hear the wind chimes ~ thank you!
The trees appear as great shadows ~ thank you!
Another breath ~ thank you!
The painful winter cracks on the tips of my fingers are healing ~ thank you!
The first candle of the day ~ thank you!

These silent moments ~ thank you!
The warmth of my coat ~ thank you!
These companion-ing dogs ~ thank you!
Water is boiling ~ thank you!
Adding gift-honey to my tea ~ thank you!

Another breath ~ thank you!
