Prayer For The Week – Thank you for this day of life

O God, I thank You for this day of life,
for eyes to see the sky,
for ears to hear the birds,
for feet to walk amidst the trees,
for hands to pick the flowers from the earth,
for a sense of smell to breathe in the sweet
perfumes of nature,
for a mind to think about and appreciate
the magic of everyday miracles,
for a spirit to swell in joy at Your mighty presence
everywhere.

Marian Wright Edelman
