My Birthday Eve1

On the eve of my 73rd birthday,
I contemplate the passing year,
while looking forward
to a New Year
and a new decade.

What will the New Year bring?
What blessing will the new decade bestow?
I don't know,
so I will move forward
with faith and confidence
in the All-Glorious Lord!

Gratitude List for 12 Masáʼil

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this beautiful winter morning.
          ...that I have 751 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the blue berry yogurt I had to go with my coffee.
          ...that I have 2,187,174 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the merit badge I received.
