Dear God

I have more to thank you for than all the other people in my life combined. (When I say things like that I wonder - can I correctly refer to you as a "person"?) Here are just a handful of things I want to say "Thank You" for:

• Sabbath
• The ocean
• Family
• My healthy, beautiful, entertaining, makes-me-cry daughter
• Some of the best people in the world to call my friends
• The opportunity to travel
• Dogs
• Food on my table every day
• Positive relationships
• Sunsets
  
• Promises I know You'll keep
• Doctors and Nurses
  
• A job - and one I love, at that
• The means to keep a warm and comfortable house for my daughter
• Birds
• Health
• Different cultures
• Passion
• Science
  
• Choices
• Love
• Laughter
• Music
• The sense of smell
• Intuition
• Fellowship
• You being there for me all the time...whether I bother to think about it or thank You for it or not
• Babies
• A sense of humour
• All the people You've put in my life for various reasons - whether it be for a short time or forever
• Encouragement
• The ability to make other people smile
• Sex
• Autumn
• The gift of being able to sing and play music
• Understanding
• Baby animals
• Photographers and videographers who can go into places I'll never see and take me there vicariously, wowing me with every new scene
  

There is so much more...Everything in my life is thanks to You. The one thing I have to mention outside of the list is something I can never thank You for enough in words. Your sacrifice for me so I could live with You forever is something that is unspeakably powerful and stunning. Something I could (and do) say "Thank You" for here, knowing that doesn't come close to being enough. So thank You for giving me the opportunity to live my life as a thank you.

Your Undeserving Child,
(Insert the Name You Have For Me Here)
