thanks for...

thanks for the rain,
thanks for the food,
thanks for a great day,
thanks for catching that error,
thanks for buying lunch,
thanks for understanding,

or

thanks for dying on the cross, like I heard earlier today.

this is not an ultra-religious post - language is curious, and some phrases just don't work for me. even thank-you feels better to me. I guess I totally approach religion with formality, and being casual just doesn't cut it sometimes.
