Dear God, we thank you for this Your day. We pray a special blessing on all here and anywhere that labor among us as Your servants. It becomes so easy to think that this day is all about us and what we have to say and what we want; but it's not. This day is about praising You and worshiping You. We sometimes seek recognition about what we do, but again, today is a day to remember all You have done among us, for us, through us and even in spite of us. Do it again. And again. Bring Your grace and peace to us, that in all that we seek to do today, You would bring to us blessing upon blessing, grace upon grace. Bless our worship times, our Sunday school time, and our time together. Help us set aside past hurts, overlooked efforts, angers that we might have felt in Your house, whatever negative experience we might have had, and let us seek just Your love, joy and peace. We pray in Christ's precious name. Amen The above photos is the staff of First United Methodist Church-San Marcos, Texas.
