my daily bread

Keep falsehood and lies far from me;

give me neither poverty nor riches,

but give me only my daily bread.

Proverbs 30:8

Lord, let me be contented with what You give each day. Help me to see what are needs and what are wants. Let me live in the simplicity of receiving from you my daily bread.

And for all these things, I thank you, for

...time to dust off my violin and play,

...chats with family online, bringing closeness to our distance,

...quietness of an afternoon jog on Christmas day,

...brunch with friends the day after christmas,

...hearts that understand loss,

...a new day,

...sunshine in December,

...a lone flower peeking out of our front flowerbed,

...Nathanael making Legos without help,

...Abigail dancing with the new rapper penguin doll,

...Lydie creating "homes" for her new dolls,

...time to breathe, create, dream,

...Hope that never fades,

...Knowing He speaks in every love language to us,

...Thank you, Lord. . .
