Psalm 116 poses the Question: "What shall I offer to the Lord for all that he has done for me?" (P 116:12). Realistically, there is little that can measure up to the limitless gifts God gives us each day, but we can make some effort as we offer prayers of gratitude throughout the day: a simple THANK YOU for both the good things and the "bad" (for in the end some good always seems to come out of the worst "disasters" in our planned day), and we can extend our gratitude in works of service to others in big and small ways. Putting ourselves out to drive someone to a doctor's appointment, or simply clearing the table or setting the table so that our spouse doesn't have to do it all the time. Holding the door at work or church for someone. Simple things can go a long way in "making the day" for someone else as well as "repaying" God for his kindness to us. Dear God, make me conscious of little ways to "pay forward" what you so lovingly lavish upon me."
