A prayer for ours...


Senior recognition at Jones Chapel UMC. May 18, 2008.
Thank you God for these wonderful young people.
Thank you for family and friends who have journeyed with them on this path.
Thank you for the blessings You bestow on them.
As they move forward in life, continue Your hand of comfort and protection on them.
Let the foundation of the faith they have been given support their decisions.
Reassure their parents of the love you have for them.
Place comfort and peace in those parents hearts as they let go of their children and begin this next level of parenting.
Help them find a place in life that allows them to complete Your work and theirs.
Bless us all.
Amen.
Just a few of the lines of the prayer for our Seniors. I want to pass them on to all of you who have graduates.
This Friday night is graduation. Mom and Molly are both more than a little emotional right now. Hoping Grandmother and Granddaddy and Nomi - will all be in attendance with us.
Mom played hooky from life on Saturday. I fixed food just for me. I napped. I vegged on the sofa. Watched a lot of food network and HGTV. Piddled a little bit on the studio. Just a low key quiet day - to take care of ME. After last week - God knows I needed it. As I write this, I am drinking the first cup of coffee I have had in over a week. Things are slowly returning to normal function. Glad the upcoming weekend is a long one.
Have a great day all.

Good for you for slowing down and taking care of YOU. That's the best kind of medicine in the world.
