My dad likes to thank God for "the things we look forward to" when he says a blessing. I have really internalized this, because having something to look forward to is a blessing. When I pray with the kids, I will often use his line, or say something like "thank you for the opportunities that we've been given today and help us to make the most of them, and handle them as you would see fit."
It's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning when I've not had enough sleep. Remembering that I have things to look forward to and praying for those who do not is energizing. Thank you, Lord, for this insight (again).
