O gracious and holy Father,

give us wisdom to perceive thee,

intelligence to understand thee,

diligence to seek thee,

patience to wait for thee,

eyes to behold thee,

a heart to meditate upon thee,

and a life to proclaim thee;

through the power of the Spirit

of Jesus Chris our Lord.

Baccalaureate services. Families that spend "Quantity time" together. Heavenly treasure chests. The reward that will go to the poor in spirit.  Mapmakers. A compelling urge to touch others in the name of Jesus. God's leading you to a new job more suited to your telents. Generous hospital grants. The spouse who is still discovering  new things about you. Freedom from the fraudulent. Coconut cream pie.  Having enough chairs for everyone.  Mending the fractured. Freedom from elbows  in your ribs. Those who don't sell out their principles at any price.

The first person to break the sound barrier.  Christmas shopping in uncrowded malls. Teenagers with good posture. Those who arrive for church services ten minutes early.  Magazines your grandmother lets you cut up.  Highly absorbent paper products. Paratroopers. A bouquet of sweet peas to take to a teacher.  Not missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Those who do not judge.  Those who do not condemn.  The ability to live in the now.  Building engineers.  Finding the receipt for the item you need to return.  The comforting regularity of train whistles in the night.

May God, my heavenly Father, who has forgiven me so many times,

make me forgiving too.

God, our loving Fahter, forgive me for the times I have not been willing to ask forgiveness or to make peace.

Fiberglass.  The angels who are assigned to the clumsy.  Those who know their Redeemer lives.  Spiritual intuition.  Ski boots that release readily from skis.  A good morning stretch.  Education for ministry.  Accurate readings of a situation.  Hearts with a soft spot.  Long jumpers.  Expressions distinctive to a person.  Mascara remover.  Gospel trios.  The ability to delegate tasks. The ability to plan production schedules.  The fun of sliding down a slide.  Rehabilitated criminals.  Ability well-trained.  Warranties that are honoured.  Incubation periods. Faucets that don'tt drip.

A rack where your coat is welcome. Having something inspiring to say. Friends with sailboats. Fellow christian believers in Madagascar. Early morning walks. Late night walks. Getting the teacher you wanted. Those who are willing to risk their lives to share the gospel. Licking a bowl of chocolate icing. The day the training wheels came off. Those who lend freely. Hidden valleys. Those who don't trouble others for what they can do themselves. Freedom from cowardice. Freedom from avarice. Older batchelors who fall in love.  The energy given to mothers with large families.  Epitomes.

Thanks be to thee, our Lord Jesus Christ,

for all the benefits which thou hast given us;

for all the pains and insults which thou hast born for us.

O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother, 

may we know thee more clearly,

love tee more dearly and follow thee more nearly,

now and ever.

St. Richard of Chichester (1197 - 1233)

Fellow followers in the way of Tanzania. Those who are willing to try again next year.  The itch that means healing has started.  Wheat grass. The tiny fingernails on a baby's hand.  Harps and harpists. Cities named in honour of saints.  Patrol cars. Finding the pasture gate open. Car warning buzzers. Brainstorming sessions that generate great new ideas.  Light meters. Verse makers. God's giving us the power to trample on serpents.  Freedom from ruin.  Those who call their walls Salvation.  Long-held values. Butter for your toast. The potential of a cup of water. Tailgate picnics.
