Reflection By, Cindy Bingham

The kids are asleep, the TV is off, 
Peace settles in for the night.
I have this time to reflect on my day
On the things that went wrong and right.

This moment I'm given to look back and see
All the ways in which I've been blessed.
There are things I could have done differently,
But at days end, I did my best.

And the joy I feel as I fall to my knees
Sometimes makes it hard to express,
As I thank the provider of all that I have,
And all with which I've been blessed.

I thank Heavenly Father for each sweet kiss,
As my children set out for their day,
For a sturdy roof, and a working car,
And even bills to pay.

I thank the Father for a loving home,
And enough for my kids to eat,
For the priesthood's power and influence,   
And good friends with which to meet.

I'm so very grateful for each breath of life,
That's given my family,
For challenges faced, and hardships borne,
And the beauty around that I see.

I thank the Good Lord for this moment,
And those that extend beyond my view,
And pray for the strength to find happiness,
And fulfillment in all that I do.

Dear Father, thank you for tomorrow,
For the hope in each new day,
And for the joys of being thy daughter,
For all these things I pray.
