Thursday Poem and Gratitude List

Istijlál (Majesty), 19 ʻAláʼ (Loftiness) 176 B.E. Thursday, March 19, 2020

On the Nineteenth Day of Fast1

I contemplate the coming year
full of joy, hope, and sharing
the word of Baha'u'llah
on the unity of humanity.

Gratitude List for 19 ʻAláʼ

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that I have 605 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for fresh brewed coffee on this chilly morning.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account isn't overdrawn today.
          ...for the double chocolate chip muffin I had to go with my coffee.
          ...that I have 1,65,884 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the slice of watermelon I had for breakfast.
