Thank You Father God

I thank you for loving me so much
That you gave your only begotten son
To come here and sacrifice himself for me
So that I might be saved and reborn
I thank you for this beautiful day
I thank you for your blue skies
I thank you for allowing me
To wake up this morning, alive
I thank you for giving me this day
The opportunity of free choice
To confess my sins and repent
I thank you for the wisdom, knowledge and 
Understanding for all of the time you’ve spent
On loving a ignorant, mindless wretch like me
To make me aware of and understand
Your unconditional love 
That you have for all mankind
I thank you for my parents, my siblings
My children, my grandchildren
My cousins and my friends
I thank you for your blessings
I thank you forgiving my sins
I thank you for your understanding
I thank you for clearing my mind
I thank you for allowing me  
At this time in my life
To be happy, healthy and wise
