I thank God for my life, freedom, health, wealth, and safety;
for his salvation from my old nature; that he gave his Son to accomplish it;
for his abiding presence; that his wisdom is with me;
that I have a purpose in his creation (and know what it is), and am equipped to perform it;
that my family, or much of it, is still with me; that nearly all of them are believers;
for friends of yesterday and today;
that my country is free (for now); for those who gave their lives and those who put theirs at risk so it can remain free;
that I have days left beyond these, and an endless life yet to come.
And I thank my King, Jesus Christ, for making all of the above possible.
