If you are only thanking God for the miracles you understand, are you really thanking God? What about the miracles x blessings you ain’t pray for? What about the ones that are disguised as heartbreak x disappointment? The ones that disturb your peace? Count it all joy for your best x highest good. “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you x not destroy you, plans of hope x a future!”

Dear God x Ancestors,

THANK YOU FOR IT ALL!
