My dear blogging friend, Judy, over at A Thankful Woman's Book of Blessings, hosts this meme every Wednesday. Simply list five things (or a prayer or any thoughts) for which you are truly thankful this week. Voicing my thanks helps put my life in perspective & realize that, no matter how bad things might be, there is still MUCH good surrounding me.
With the tragedy in Japan, my heart is heavy as I try to come up w/ a list of thanksgiving this week.
1) While I am thankful that I know my family is tucked into bed safely each night, I pray for those in Japan, still searching for their loved ones.
2) While I am thankful to have a roof over my head, I pray for those who lost their homes to the earthquake & tsunami in Japan.
3) While I am thankful for the food & drink readily available to us, I pray for those in Japan now going without.
4) While I am thankful for my family's health, I pray for those in Japan facing disease & radiation.
5) While I am thankful for the security provided to us through our jobs, I pray for those in Japan who are now out of work.
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the many blessings in my life. I ask you to bless & comfort those in Japan as they mourn their losses & try to put their piece of the world back together. Amen.
