DECEMBER 31
“O Lord, bless our life stages, for they read like growth rings on a might tree: our beginnings and firsts with their excitement, newness, and anxiety; our middles, full of diligence and commitment and, yes, we confess, sometimes boredom, but also risk and derring-do; our “nexts,” the harvests and reapings; the slowing down and freedom. In your hands this time can be rich and full like an overflowing cup, not a last or a final or an empty or an ending stage at all. You are an Alpha and Omega God, the parentheses between which we live, move, and have our being. Bless our comings and goings.”
In Jesus’s name. Amen.
