This
page is being kept as a tribute to her
We
come to this
table today, O
Lord, humble
and thankful
and glad.
We thank Thee
first for the
great miracle
of life, for
the exaltation
of being
human, for the
capacity of
love.
We thank Thee
for joys both
great and
simple --
For wonder,
dreams and
hope;
For the
newness of
each day;
For laughter
and song and a
merry heart;
For compassion
waiting within
to be kindled;
For the
forbearance of
friends and
the smile of a
stranger;
For the
arching of the
earth and
trees and
heavens and
the fruit of
all three;
For the wisdom
of the old;
For the
courage of the
young;
For the
promise of new
life;
For the
strength that
comes when
needed;
For this
family united
here today
whether near
or far away.
Of those to
whom much is
given, much is
required.
May we always
remember this.
Amen.
