Lord,
You make feet to run and hands to hold, eyes to see the wonders of your world and ears to hear the laughter of family and friends. Thank you for making us so that we can use our minds and bodies to admire your creation. Help us to treat ourselves and others with the dignity and respect you intended for each of us.
Amen.

Our most dear and loving God,
I would like to conclude our meeting this Friday with a few words of gratitude and a request of Your blessing.
You, Father, are beyond worthy of our praise and thanks. Thank you simply for bringing us this day today along with this great opportunity to be gathered here. Open our eyes to help us more fully appreciate such simple blessings in our lives. Also, open our minds and hearts. Help us to uncover the messages You are trying to send to each one of us through experiences such as this one. Thank you for bringing Reverend Jonathan Meyer here to speak to us today. Please, allow us to remember his words and to become inspired through Your voice within them. Give us strength to listen and to serve as Your voice calls all around us. Our time here has been a blessing and we ask that You, Father, continue to fill the rest of this and every day that we live with such special opportunities. May your endless love and mercy be upon us all and may we strive to make it known throughout the world. Help us to live today, to give today, as if it may be our last.
Thank you Loving God, Amen.
