{blessings}
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. May your smile be a blessing to everyone you meet.
In the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. May God bless and refresh you today.
Quote by Khalil Gibran
{prayers}
Licking My Wounds
Dear God, Help me be more loving. Allow me a brief moment to calmly lick my wounds when I am wronged, insulted, or maligned. Remind me of my capacity to love and to have compassion for all people, even those who do not like me. Share Your grace so I can move on. Fill me with Your loving spirit.
Better from Worse
Dear God, Thank You for carrying me through my worse days and for guiding me as I live my best days.
Mornings and Miracles
When the coffee hits my lips, I savor its flavor, take in the fresh morning light, and I am reminded how miraculous it feels to begin a new day. Praise God for mornings and miracles.
Prayer of Blessings
Dear God, Bless my children, bless my elders, bless me with love and respect for those who came before me, the generations yet to come, and God bless my family who is with me now.
Coming My Way
Dear God, Let nothing stand in the way of the blessings coming my way. I pray for the safe delivery of good health, abundant resources, love and happiness. Thank You for all I am about to receive.
