In July, I gave a homeless man named Jeff a ride across town. As I stopped where he wanted to get out, Jeff asked if he could pray with me. “Of course,” I responded, and he prayed a fairly long and very eloquent prayer. At one point, Jeff said something that struck me, and I have found myself reflecting on it in the months since I heard those words. Jeff prayed, “Lord, we often ask you for the big things in life when maybe it is not the right season in our life for those things. Lord, let us remember all of the things you provide us with daily that we take for granted and let us be thankful for those things.”
