Day 30 - Experiment Completed

This is the final day of my 30 days of thanksgiving experiment. Over these last 30 days I have thought daily about family, friends, faith, life, breath, creation and more ... But I want to end my 30 days of thanksgiving with a refection and a thank you to my Lord.

To know that my existence is beyond mere matter, that the true substance of my life is in the realm of the unseen, gives meaning to the mystery and to the dance of my sacred journey. To rise each morning with a deep breath filling my lungs, ready to embrace whatever comes my way with enthusiasm, can only be if my companion on the sacred journey is my Lord, my Savior, my Leader, my Friend, my King, my God. Everyday is filled with His strength in my struggles, His forgiveness for my faults, His grace for my growth and His wisdom for my wounds. Moses pronounced the cry of my heart ... if your presence doesn't go us, then don't send us from here. My heart is overwhelmed with the reality that in Christ's coming he came to stay ... in me! To journey forever, never leaving nor forsaking me on this sacred journey. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)
