I Thank You:

Lord, I thank you for all that you have provided—my joys and moments of triumph; my family and loved ones; all that is yet to be. I thank you also for the sorrows, the pains, the disappointments and unfulfilled dreams. I know these things strengthen my faith in your and in myself.

We gather strawberries and cherries before apples and oranges, but it is because their season requires it. Let God gather what He has planted in His orchard: He takes everything in its season.

- Saint Francis de Sales
