How Lucky I am..

I pause for a moment and think of the love and the grace
 that God showers on me:
I am created in the image and
 likeness of God;
I am God's dwelling-place.

Lord, may I never take the gift of freedom for granted.
You gave me the great blessing of freedom of spirit.
Fill my spirit with Your peace and Your joy.
I remind myself that I am in the presence of the Lord.

I will take refuge in His loving heart.
He is my strength in times of weakness.
He is my comforter in times of sorrow.

I take my time to read the Word of God, slowly, a few times,
 allowing myself to dwell on anything that strikes me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end.
