Dear Lord,

 You gave me the strength and energy to live through the days of May.

The Mother’s Day and birthday well-wishes I received, and the birthday greetings I sent.

The good news, the sad news, and the unexpected sobering news I heard.

The dental visit to remove a wisdom tooth, and to the eye specialist to check the cataracts, things I had to do.

The camaraderie at a women’s meeting, and the lively chatter and laughter of family at our open house I enjoyed.

And the pleasure of watching our young grandson for a weekend is a memory I will treasure.

It was a filled-to-the-brim month. 

Thank You for the life to live through it all.

Amen.
