A day for saying thank you

Thank you, God for my beautiful daughter, who came house-hunting with me today.

Seeing other people's houses makes me want to say thank you so much. Lord, for my wonderful garden and its wildlife. Thank you for my big kitchen and convenient utility room. Thank you for the morning sun in my bedrooms and lounge. Thank you for the evening sun in my kitchen.

I pray now for everyone who is homeless, and especially for those who are roofless. I think of the Iraqi Christian refugees in particular, and also of everyone in Dorset who has nowhere safe and warm to lay their head at night. Watch over them all, Father, and bring them safely through their ordeal to a place they can call their own, where they can feel secure.
