Another Year, Another Birthday

Prayers - Thanksgiving Prayer

By Patricia Woodside

Another Year, Another Birthday

WAnotherYearAnotherBirthday-1Today I reflect on another year gone by.
365 days of living and loving,
of rising and falling,
of questioning and answering,
of sharing and safeguarding,
of learning and stretching,
of succeeding and stumbling,
of laughing and mourning,
of giving and receiving,
of resting and moving,
of planning and leaping,
of being surprised and amazed,
challenged and humbled.
Thank You for such a wonderful gift.
Thank You for another day lived.
