I am not a man of pointless platitudes.

I don't give desultory thanks.

I don't bestow aimless gratitude.

You have to earn my thanks.

Today I find myself happy.

I am moved by the daily grace I receive.

I recognize that over this year.

God has been very good to me.

He kept my wife and children.

He held the angel of death at bay.

He moved in all my finances and endeavors.

When I was lost, he showed me the right way.

During this year everything got sad and hectic.

I lost a lot of loved ones and close friends.

However, in my pain, he revealed to me a mystery;

I witnessed the love, peace, and joy in life's end.

Numerous times throughout this year I bowed to him.

I went to God with all my fears, hurts, and endless cares.

God moved and closed every hurt-filled pitfall;

Many times before I knew it was there.

I am thankful to God, I have a peace that is hard to attain.

You see, I am happy and consitantly thankful,

Because daily, God gives me the victory in his name.
