Chrysalis

A prayer for 32 young women who are experiencing Chrysalis in Portsmouth this weekend:

(Adapted from the Agents of Peace prayer in the "purple book.")

Father in Heaven,

As these girls awake this morning and look out over the snow-covered yard with the sun rising in a glistening ball of fire, may they find your peace.

Lord, touch them with your Spirit in this moment, so that during this day they can be your agents of pace. Let then take your peace to the breakfast table, to all of their waking moments today, to their time spent with new friends, to the sanctuary for worship, and to every encounter they have this day.

Allow them to experience no boundaries in sharing your peace with the happy, sad, joyful, needful, confident, and yearning people that are sharing their weekend.

Let all of their days find the reward of peace, Amen

We are having tortilla soup tonight (S and I; boys are having an :alternative menu). The recipe is from Pam.
