May we serve each other, as we love and obey You, Lord

Good Friday morning, my friends.

I have been back in Ottawa now for a few days, but my family is still in New Brunswick (I fly back in a few weeks to drive back with them).  This morning in searching for a prayer, I came across this prayer/poem for families.  I lift it up for my family and yours, and ask you to do the same.

Now, may we serve each other, 

As we love and obey You, Lord

Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace to you today,

Bruce

Where the Heart Is

Home is where the heart is, 

We've often heard recited— 

So we come to this family altar 

To keep our hearts united.

With thanks we come to worship, 

We offer up our praise— 

We marvel at Your goodness 

As mercy renews our days.

We cast our cares upon You, 

We bid You, take the lead— 

As You fill us with Your presence 

To more than meet our needs.

Now, may we serve each other, 

As we love and obey You, Lord— 

Help us grow in wisdom 

To hear and do Your Word.
