In Joining our lives may God grant us

In joining our lives may God grant us;

Love, to afford each other a special quality of time together

Joy, in the accomplishments of one another

Understanding, that our interests and desires will not always be the same

Friendship, based on mutual trust

Courage, to speak of a misunderstanding, to work on a solution before the setting of the sun

Compassion, to comfort each other in pain and sorrow

Foresight, to realize rainbows follow rainy days

Imagination, to keep with us part of the child we used to be

Mirth, from our sense of humor

Awareness, to live each day with the knowledge that there is no promise of tomorrow

May God bless us and keep us in the Palm of His hand

Amen.
