Joints

Abba, Father,

thank you for elbows that bend,

shoulders that swivel,

knees that work,

knuckles that move,

wrists and ankles that turn,

neck and vertebrae and hips that function

just as they are supposed to,

without thought

and without pain.

It is no small thing

for which I give thanks.

Amen.
