Father 

Thank you for this evening’s meal. Together as a family. Conversation. Humor. Support. As it should be. All present with our own challenges, frustrations, fears, hopes. Sharing, listening, eating, laughing. This is the sweet nectar of life my dad talked about in his toast on our wedding night. Not perfect, nor ideal, not grand, nor particularly memorable, just our little family living our lives together. So great so full of Love. So content at this moment. A respite in the tumult. Please bless us all with many more moments like it. Please grant Kayla a fluid swing in tomorrow’s golf tournament. Help her see the line and find the hole. Please bless Chloe with confidence and peace of mind in school tomorrow. Calm her worries and settle her thoughts with optimism. Please heal Mary. Soothe her soar throat and lessen her cough. Help her breathe and bless her with energy and a renewed love of dance. Please calm the turbulent seas around Suzy’s life. Grant her peace of mind and calm her worries. Grant her strength and patience and restful sleep tonight. I pray for this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
