Today I feel strong. I haven't felt strength in a long time--not in body, mind or spirit--so I know that I should give thanks.

I thank my body or not quitting on me when my will exceeded my physical limits.
I thank my mind for looking into the darkness without losing the light of the twin lamps of reason and compassion.
I thank my spirit for drawing me forward when my body and mind were unbalanced and unwell.

And I thank my Creator God for making us in so many parts so that each may look after the others. I give thanks for work that wears out the body and brings sleep when the mind would worry and worry. And I give thanks that weakness does not always persist and that suffering is not an end to itself. I am thankful to be strong when strength is not promised to any of us. And I ask for wisdom for how to use this strength. May it not bless only myself.
