Jesus, You know I somewhat envy families who stand still long enough for lovely, we’re-together holiday photos. But OMG, You know I wouldn’t trade our sweet, rowdy Thanksgiving for anything!
Jesus, thank You for orange, the color of fall fun. The hue of thanksgiving for blessings You bestow. Yet even before we carved jack-’o-lanterns, an invasion of red and green ensued. Lord, You know I celebrate Your birth! But OMG, will retailers and the Hallmark Channel start their 2026 Christma$ countdowns on January 2?

Jesus, thank You for the perfect campfire weather You gave us that made our backyard Neighborhood S’Mores Night possible. OMG, thank You especially for old friends and new with whom all could enjoy sweet treats and even sweeter community.
Jesus, thank You for a relaxing overnight getaway, an early birthday celebration for my husband — a lovely dress-up dinner out and a hike the next day. OMG, just once, though, I wish I’d remember to take photos when we’re dressed up instead of sweaty ones out in the woods. But You know how it is when I’m presented with a plateful of shrimp …
You know how many mistakes I made as a mom. Ack!! Yet, You entrusted me with these beautiful people. Sometimes I wonder, “God, what were You thinking?” But OMG, mostly, I’m grateful. So grateful.
OMG, thank You for our marriage of 50 years! Please help us, whether dining in uptown restaurants and cheering winning ball teams — or shoveling snow and cleaning bathrooms — to celebrate life together every day!
Lord, after several days as a sneezing, hacking, sofa-bound Snuffleupagus, a walk around the block with my guy felt like one in Eden. OMG, thank You.
O Lord, like birthdays we’d rather forget …
Road construction happens every year.
But OMG, You’re right, as always. What if both never showed up?
Jesus, You know I often struggle to assume an attitude of gratitude. But on this chilly, damp Monday, with one flush, I remembered my papaw’s outhouse.

OMG, You really did come to Earth to rescue us from ourselves.
Thank You. Thank You.
