Prayer of Thanksgiving

Many of you know that it's been a tough week for me. I found solace in this prayer from Dan Neville's celebration of life...

Help us to see, O God,
that what we love becomes a part of us
intertwined with our lives,
blended with mind and memory,
joined to our very souls.

So strengthen us, O God,
in our continuing journey
that the good we knew,
the joy we felt,
the laughter we shared,
the love we received,
shall not only be alive in us,
but shared with those
whose sorrow is new
Amen

Talk to you all again soon.
