Many people will be traveling this week, may they safely arrive and return Loving God. May the introverts among us find the silent time they need when so much socializing is expected. Let those who are anxious find peace. May the children remember this week as one filled with great memories. Let your presence be felt by those people who are experiencing the holiday season for the first time without someone they love. Help them through this time and let us be there for them in the ways that can best support them. Thank you for the many blessing you have given us O God. Amen
