My Prayer

May our faith never become simply an obligation, but rather a passion; a mission; a driving force. May our words be fortified by our actions, and may our actions be holy. May the reflection of God in our lives not be dictated by our limited understanding of his greatness, but rather through the revelation of His grace and guidance in and through our lives. May we never cease to seek Him although we will continue to fall short of His glory until we join Him in eternity. Praise be to the One who grants us second, third, and thousands of chances. Thanks be to the One who doesn't ask us to be perfect, but simply demands that we admit that we will never be perfect and accept His grace. 

May our thoughts be those of righteousness and thankfulness. May we always realize that no matter how blessed the earthly lives we lead, they are only "training" for our lives with Christ in eternity. Possessions do not own us; we own them, and we do not award them more merit than is deserved for they will always be secondary to the work God longs to accomplish in our lives. We must be careful to nurture each relationship that we are a part of- it is our duty and calling to be a living example of Christ to everyone that we come into contact with. May we give our children the tools needed to begin to build a strong foundation in Christ's love, and may Christ intervene where we are not able so that our children are safe when we cannot protect them, loved where we cannot demonstrate our love to them, and comforted when we cannot comfort them. May we always understand what precious gifts children are, and never take for granted the time that we are given with them. May Christ always be the foundation of our families, and may our foundation become stronger with the passing years.
