A Morning Prayer for the Silver Generation

It’s a crisp morning in the early morning air. We all begin our day with a prayer, blessing the day ahead. I think the older I get, the more grateful I become.

For the mornings that start with a tap on the shoulder, for the mornings that start with a knee that hurts, for the mornings that we get up and face the day, for the mornings that are sometimes lonely, for the mornings that are sometimes hard, for the mornings that we think of each other.

I look to the sky and give thanks. For still being able to dream, for taking on new challenges, and most of all, for the gift of today. I wish us all good health and peace.

May we use our youthful enthusiasm and our wisdom to make today a better day. May our small prayers be an encouragement to each other, and may we begin each day with gratitude.
