Let me count the ways Oh Lord how you comfort me. I lay my head in a clean bed at night and am able to bathe in fresh cleansing water. I have food on my table and choices on how to spend my time. I can hear the song of the birds outside and see the dance of the leaves from the gentle breeze. I have shoes on my feet and cloth around me and music for my ears. Oh Lord you have given so much just in the every day things we can so easily take for granted. I have the privilege to pray in my head, heart and words from my lips whenever I choose. May I, in my bounty, with prayerful awareness remember those with so much less who are in pain and peril and always be in gratitude for your Grace and Mercy.
