For My 71st Birthday

I praise You because of the wonderful way you created me.

Everything you do is marvelous!

Of this I have no doubt.

Psalm 139:14 (CEV)

1

Thank you God that You are the creator of the universe

that You are the creator of me

and designed me exactly to Your specifications.

Thank You for bringing me into this world

and giving me life

a spirit

a soul

and a body.

2

Thank You for making me in Your image

personally forming me with the same care and precision You used in creating the universe

exactly to your specifications

gifted physically and spiritually just as it pleased You

for Your glory.

3

Thank You for my parents

who were designed specifically by You

to be the ones who cared for me

trained me

and taught me about life

and You.

4

Thank you for my strengths and weaknesses

that I can enjoy

and develop

without pride or false modesty.

5

Everything I am

is from You

and kept by You

surely You have been good to me.

6

I stand in awe of You.
