Praying thank you

I guess harvest time is a time which makes me aware of the need to be grateful. And how much there is to be grateful for!
The many daily provisions and encounters and blessings - many of which I simply take for granted.

So I have decided to make October my month of gratitude and thanks-giving. Making myself aware of the things which give me joy and which I am grateful for will be my main form of prayer this month.

“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” 

– Meister Eckhart

Counting your blessings

LLM Calling is asking people to count their blessings (10 each to get us going) and send them to her.

Here are mine (in no particular order):

1. My family
2. Friends
3. Nature and its seasons
4. A secure income
5. Our health and wellbeing
6. My faith and my supportive church family
7. Creativity
8. Technology, which enables me to connect with people across the world
9. Random acts of kindness
10. Prayer, rest and relaxation

What are yours?
