The General Thanksgiving

Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.

When to speak and when to listen.

For the passed two weeks I have working at the Diocesan summer camp at Dayspring. It is both a blessing and an honor to be with children who are just beginning to explore and understand their relationship with God, with how much he loves them, and how rich and rewarding a life of faith can be. The only problem is that you have to get their attention first. This last week we had 42 elementary school students! One of the coun...
