Lord, help me to align my thoughts and my actions with your will for me. Help me to channel love, peace, gratitude and abundance. However, just to be a little more specific, I don't mean the kind of abundance in which someone gives me a box of kittens. Further, we are already abundantly wealthy in Lego mini-figures (I think my husband is trying to corner the market). Also, we have quite a few chickens due to certain people (who shall remain unnamed) caving in to the cuteness of the chicks at the hardware store this spring. We probably don't need more eggs.
Lord, we live in abundance, and for that I am grateful. Thank you for all of the grass in the empty pastures that I mow, please send us affordable calves to eat the grass. Please help me to stay strong when someone offers me 'free' ex-racehorses that need endless joint injections and equine acupuncture. Help me to recall that we will probably want to retire someday, and that our children may not get basketball scholarships to college (especially given that they don't play basketball now...)
In conclusion, Lord, thank you our family and our home. Help me to keep appreciating the healthful abundance we do have, such as the plums on the gnarly looking tree, and to keep avoiding the abundance that is not so healthful, namely the coupons for free Hardee's fries. Help me to share my simple thoughts of appreciation with others. Amen.
