Gratitude

I have a baby, and she is lovely. I have a husband, and he is lovely. (Even if he doesn’t behave that way all the time, especially right now.) I have a home, and it is lovely. (Even if I am struggling to have it be tidy and welcoming the way I want it to be.) I have a body, and it is lovely. (Even if it feels like it still won’t work right or look right.)

God, help keep us all safe and well and together, please. Help us to be the people you made us to be, our best selves. Bring my husband home safely to us each night. Guide us very clearly each day, especially right now on the hours process, please. Help us to sleep well and fully each night, that we be filled with energy to live the best day each day. In your name, we pray. Amen.
