A prayer for a young family

A prayer for two faithful servants and their young family

May you know the coolness of God's earth to calm the fevers
May you know the gentleness of God's lakes and brooks to assuage the headaches
May you know the sturdiness of the trunks of the mightiest oaks to steady yourself during the chaos
May you know the openness of the infinite skies to refresh your weary minds
May you know the lap of the Living Presence and rest in the Everlasting Arms of the Comforter.

Thank you so much, Liz. We were too sick to keep up with much of anything for a while and I felt lonely because I didn't know people were praying for us. But you were! How comforting.
