Lord
for all blessings
whether discovered in pain or in joy
I give thanks.
For the tears of loved ones
and the frustrations on the journey
I give thanks.
For times spent in silence
and times spent laughing
I give thanks.
For the shy questions of young ones
and the angry protests of youth
I give thanks.
For the slowness of old age
and the energy of youth
I give thanks.
For the flurry of bird wings
and for the setting sun
I give thanks.
Thank you Lord
for the gift of life that you give to us.
Thank you Lord
for your everlasting love.

About deepspiritleading
I connect with the Spirit of God in the world around me, my family and friends, the people I meet in my work and daily life, in music, literature, writing, art, sacred scripture, in prayer and meditation, and most of all in nature and silence.
I draw strength and sustenance from the presence of God in the small everyday happenings of life. God is always present but I however do not always have my eyes, ears or other senses attuned. Each day I need to remind myself to be awake to God's presence. Keeping a Gratitude journal, planting summer vegetables, savouring a home cooked meal with produce from my garden, holding a loved one, sitting with someone experiencing deep emotional, mental or spiritual pain or saying a silent prayer are some of the ways I keep myself open to God's loving presence in my daily life.
In this blog I hope to share with you my experiences of God's deep Spirit leading me in my everyday life to become the person that only God truly knows me to be.
I hope you enjoy my musings.
