Lord,

Thank You for the blessings You have given us not only this year but also the years before. I feel extremely grateful for the life that You gave me. You shower each of us with myriad blessings.

THANK YOU:

-for my wonderful mom who is willing to sacrifice anything for us.

-for my younger brother who is one of my closest friends who I share many hobbies and interests with.

-for my younger sister whose curiosity and naivete make everyone smile.

-for my hardworking dad who tries to keep our family together.

-for my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who make thousands of miles seem like a few feet away.

-for Russell Cruz who takes me to places I’ve never gone to, fills my days with so much joy and cares so much for me.

-for the Youth Ministry that serves as my second family.

-for my friends who further bolster me throughout my lifetime.

-and most especially, for sending Your Only Son for our sake and for your endless love for us, all.

THANK YOU.
