My Lord,

First, I would like to thank you for watching over me throughout the night.  Thank you for preparing my day as I slept with confidence that you were there and that you would protect me.  Thank your for you word, so true, so loving and so faithful.  As I began Genesis last night, just the first sentence alone, left me in awe. 

It's not like I haven't read it before, but something about living on the water and reading your word brings a new and intimate perspective to my life.  The closeness that I feel and the warmth and comfort of your love still brings me to tears.  There are times when I'm just moving about the house, cooking or cleaning, etc., and then you stop me in my tracks.  I'm reminded of you in so many ways, ways that humble me because you were always there and I missed it so many times in my youth and early adult life.

I could just burst into tears when I think of how you covered me all my life and I did not thank you for that because I was so caught up in this world. So caught up in myself that I didn't acknowledge you and I did not know what you sacrificed for me.  I have to stop here because I feel the tears coming to surface...

Eternally yours
