May this day be....

May this be a day of hope,

of expectation,

relishing each moment

as a gift from you.

May this be a day of freedom,

of breaking free,

loosening the chains that

still surround us.

May this be a day of peace,

of wholeness,

knowing that our lives

are in your hands.

May this be a day of joy,

of blessing

living in your kingdom

as a child of God.

-John Birch A Fragrant Offering
