Prodigal: I have known him since he was knee high to a duck.

Me: Mighty long time.

This is from Jacqueline Syrup Bergan and S. Marie Schwan

Lord, my God, when Your love spilled over into creation You thought of me.

I am

from love,

of love,

for love.

Let my heart, O God, always

recognize,

cherish,

and enjoy Your goodness in all of creation.

Direct all that is in me toward Your praise.

Teach me reverence for every person, all things.

Energize me in Your service.

Lord God, may nothing ever distract me from Your love…

neither health nor sickness

wealth nor poverty

honor nor dishonor

long life nor short life.

May I never seek nor choose to be other than You intend or wish.

Amen.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. John 16:25 (KJV)
