A Grateful Heart


O God, I thank You for this day of life
for eyes to see the sky
for ears to hear the birds
for feet to walk amidst the trees
for hands to pick the flowers from the earth
for a sense of smell to breathe in the sweet 
   perfumes of nature
for a mind to think about and appreciate 
   the magic of everyday miracles
for a spirit to swell in joy at Your mighty presence
   everywhere.


---Marian Wright Edelman (Author of "The Measure Of Our Success")
