6/16 Thoughts and Prayer

Thank you, Lord, for helping me have a good birthday. You've given me good health, heard my smallest cries, and helped me to mature since last year. You've been there for me when I laughed and cried because of You. You've helped me to grow so much, and I can't express my gratitude enough.
You've taught me what true happiness is - the thing I've longed for, for such a long time.
The sky I can look up to every day, the moon I like to admire at night, the desserts I taste after meals, meeting people arbituarily and praising Your name, laughing thanks to my students, reading and rereading my favorite book... the smallest things You've granted me - from what I see, feel, hear, taste - are all what You like to give me on a daily basis. You give me small gifts every day, and it was I who failed to notice them.
Sometimes things upset me and I become so discouraged. I try hard not to let those things get to me. I try to think less and see the good side in everything. I have My Father to whom I can pray, and He doesn't fail to make me laugh every day. It's so hard to see Your face, Lord, but I know You're there, smiling down on me.
I know I still have a lot to learn, Lord, but every second I get closer to meeting You. Help me to live in Your word and let every situation become a fast pass for me.
