Thanks be to God for everything

For the trials that humble

For the joy felt in easier times

For inward reflection that reveals our failings

For the solace that comforts when those failings are realized

For the Messenger that conquered death

For boundless mercy that excuses us from that death

For His word that frees us even today

For a grace and peace that surpasses all understanding

For love, none greater exists

For the providence that guides us blind followers

For the patience that forgives billions . . .And the common ground that makes the billions one

James Edward Canterbury
