Appreciation

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of appreciating the thoughts and deeds of others as they try to help us and please lead us all into green pastures beside still waters to where in our minds we may find Your Loving Peace that is beyond any wonder or emotion possible in this world of hate and greed and covetousness, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

Quotation:*
If you want to live more you must master the art of appreciating the little, everyday blessings of life.  This is not altogether a golden world, but there are countless gleams of gold to be discovered in it if we give our minds to them. -Porter
