Writing in Snow

"O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions!

Verily, I beseech thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.

O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount."

Today I am thankful...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn this morning.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee sipped from my writing.com travel mug.
          ...that I have 523 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the beautiful, pleasant day because I can keep the door open.
          ...that I was able to finish the article The Survival of the Soul after Death   by Alan Dworak, which is the first article in the series What Happens To Us After We Die?  .
