Opportunities That Are

6/7/05 Our Heavenly Father, we give you our thanks for blessings received and for prayers answered. Forgive us for our reluctance to give thanks before asking for something else – Remind us often of what we ought to be about and the opportunities that are ours. Amen 

Took this photo on way to work. (Yes, I pulled over and stopped.)

Now, it seems like old manna, but each morning, driving to work speaks of opportunities awaiting us all. I love that Dad wrote this in the present tense, not the future tense.

Opportunities are…

  1. Here
  2. Ours
  3. Now
