Thank you, Lord, from the bottom of my heart, for another year with my family and friends, and especially with she-who-must-be-obeyed.
Let them all be properly loved and treasured throughout the year, as your most precious gifts, as one your many tender mercies, with which you grace our daily lives.
Make our lives new, O Lord, and take the blindness of pride and foolish distractions from our eyes.
