National Prayer Day


Don't forget that today is National Prayer Day.
The first Thursday in May.
It isn't a day with a ton of recognition.
It does not have cute cards available.
No day off from work or school.
I did not even hear mention of it on the news this morning.
That is so sad.

How many times have I asked for help from God?
He always listens to me.
Maybe I don't listen when He is answering me...
but he always has been available
and has given me so much.

We ALL have so much to be thankful for too.
I am thankful everyday for,
my husband, he rocks,
my kids, they keep me running
health, good or bad at least I have it
a home, in 26 years it will all be paid for to
friends, they keep me sane
food, I can be a real grouch with out it
coffee, that is life blood
cream, that makes coffee even more wonderful!

That is just the easy stuff.
Even easier:
THANK GOD FOR:
The sun this morning
the birds that sang
my kids sleepy faces when I woke them for school
the cooler air outside
the water to care for my plants and grass
the breakfast I fed my husband and children...




Once you start thanking God for all you have you realize you could be praying all day long!!
I am baking cookies in rememberance of all God has done for me and my family.
Let's start making this an important holiday.
No matter what your faith,
why not?
God Rocks.


Won't you celebrate this special day too?
