Seven Days of Thanks
Day Five:
I found this prayer in my research for the Thanksgiving service I planned at work. I thought it expressed so well how hard it is to actually grasp the goodness of God in my life. So I am sharing it with you, dear cyber readers.
Though our mouths were full of song as the sea,
and our tongues of exultation as the multitude of its waves,
and our lips of praise as the wide-extended firmament;
though our eyes shone with light like the sun and the moon,
and our hands were spread forth like the eagles of heaven,
and our feet were swift as hinds,
we should still be unable to thank thee and bless thy name,
O Lord our God and God of our fathers,
for one thousandth or one ten thousandth part of the bounties which thou has bestowed upon our fathers and upon us.
