Gratitude List for 17 Sharaf

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that I have 526 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this beautiful winter morning.
          ...that I have 2,707,007 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the cookie to go with my coffee.
          ...that the cooking timer-smoke alarm works.

Universal Prayer1

O Thou Splendor of reality!
Out of nonexistence
You have called into being the universe.

O Thou Glory of eternity!
Your image
Is reflected in the mirror of creation.

O Thou Beauty of divinity!
You have called in existence
The Manifestations of Your attributes.

          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
