I thank
God every time I mention you in my prayers.
I’m thankful for all of you every time I pray, and it’s always a prayer
for of joy. I’m glad because we have
been partners in ministry. Together we
have laughed and cried; questioned and grown in faith; received and shared
abundant love; given, beyond what could be imagined, to feed and clothe and
support others in need; been faithful to God’s call in Jesus to follow God’s
way; been moved by the Holy Spirit to pray and heal…
Yes, I
thank God for all of you. We have been,
and will always be, partners in God’s grace.
God is my witness that I love all of you with the compassion of Jesus
Christ. (Philippians 1:3-8, adapted)
Now we
move on a new path ahead of us. On this
piece of your journey:
The
Lord bless you and keep you.
The
Lord make his face shine on youand be gracious to you.
The Lord lift up his face to you
and grant you peace.
(Numbers 6:24-26 CEB)
Peace,
Patti
