We give thanks, O God,
for the spirit of grace
that occasionally allows us
to recognize that a task
of need, accomplished by
the imperfection of another,
is far more valuable
than
our own perfect plan that has
repeatedly failed to materialize.
Give us, more and more,
the ability to put criticism
out with the other garbage,
choosing instead to offer
the two-word prayer and praise
of gratitude: "Thank you!"
