Evening Prayer before the Independence Day FIrworks

 

 

grant us 

grace that 

we may be

devoted to 

you with our

whole heart 

and united 

to one another with pure affection________

Sunday, the 4th of July, 2021

 

We rejoice   

in our suffer-

ing, knowing 

that suffering pro-

duces endurance, &

endurance produces 

character,& charac-

ter produces hope, 

& hope does not 

disappoint us, be-

cause God‘s love has been poured 

                                 into our hearts.                

Saturday evening

 

You

make 

wine to

gladden

the heart, 

+bread to 

strengthen 

the heart.

     If

   I

forget 

you, 

 O 

  Jeru

   salem,

     let my hand forget its skill, 

         If I do not set that peace 

               above my highest joy

Friday evening of a long 4th of July week-end

 

 

Let 

my 

pray

  er

 be 

set 

forth

in 

 your

   sight as incense _____________

I 

still 

my soul 

& make

 it quiet, 

like a child 

upon its

 grandpa‘s lap, 

my soul is quieted within me.
