Praise to You, O Father of Mercies, for These Graduated Beloved Ones

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
    His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
    his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Lamentations 3:2-23 NLT

O Abba Father,

I am so grateful! You worked it out. Despite my sickness and hospitalization, you gave me the desire of my heart … to be at the high school graduations of our two oldest grandsons — in two different states, spaced 10 days apart. Amazing!

It wasn’t necessary. If it didn’t happen, I wouldn’t have questioned Your Love and Mercy. I wouldn’t have thought less of You, my Beautiful One.

It was Pure Gift from Your Heart to mine. And I have received it all from your gracious Hand.

Thank You.

Graduating seniors, kaden and evan, way back when

Now, O God, pour out Your Mercy and Grace upon these beloved young men, Kaden and Evan. They know You. Take them deep into experiencing Who You are in them and who they are in You.

Protect and prosper them as they move on in the life You have ordained for them.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

For Kaden and Evan are Your masterpiece [poema].
You have created them anew in Christ Jesus,
so they can do the good things YOU planned for them long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 NLT (and Babci’s prayerful paraphrase)
