Akathist of Thanksgiving by Metropolitan Tryphon (Prince Boris Petrovich Turkestanov), 1934 Glory be to God for Everything [Serialized on the days before Thanksgiving 2013] Kontakion 5 (20 November) The storms of life are not frightening to one in whose heart shines the light of Your fire. All around the weather is bad – there is darkness, horror and the howling wind. But in the soul of such a one, there is peace and light. Christ is there! And the heart sings: Alleluia! Ikos 5 I see Your heavens glittering with stars. O how rich You are, how much light You have! Eternity looks at me through the rays of distant worlds; I am so small and inconsequential, but the Lord is with me, His loving hand everywhere protecting me. Glory to You for Your constant care of me, Glory to You for providential encounters with people, Glory to You for the love of relatives, the devotion of friends, Glory to You for the gentleness of animals who serve me, Glory to You for the luminous moments of my life, Glory to You for the bright joys of the heart, Glory to You for the happiness of living, of moving and contemplating, Glory to You, O God, unto ages of ages.
