This is a prayer I wrote for our family (and has been hung in our home since I wrote it). I encourage you to share it with yours.
PRAYER FOR THE FAMILY
Personalities divergent, each brings his or
hers to the family. “I offer you me,” you
say, “to enhance yourself and others. I
am not perfect. But I love this family
like no other and will do nothing short
of my best to keep it going.”Almost without knowing it, we make a pledge —
a pledge to stick by one another no matter
what. For within each of us lies a part of
our Mother and Father. Through them and
because of them, we keep tradition alive.Without God choosing us to be a family,
Brian & Liz Burns
there wouldn’t be a family. Because of
God and because of our parents, we discover
two of the most important facets of life:
Love is the greatest thing to be taught,
and it is the greatest thing to learn.
