Rhapsody of the Seas
Livorno, IT
Holy, Holy God ~
Thank You. Praise You. Bless
You! Once again You have afforded us a BRILLIANT
opportunity. Mm. Yes. “Brilliant”. A phrase used by an Englander
just now in affirming a good plan.
Oh
praise You Father for good plans. Grandparents and grandchildren
staying onboard while parents and uncle explore historic Italian
spots. Father, thank You. Thank You for the opportunity of changing
an original idea into a much more doable outcome.
Holy,
Holy God ~ You provide us so many blessings. So very many
possibilities. And so much love. Here I ask for Your guidance and
wisdom in executing it all.
“Two
small children” [that's how their mother referenced them the other
day when their grandmother made a police involved faux pas at the
Trevi Fountain]. Two small children and five adults. The odds should
be in our favor.
Two
small children. Five adults. One good sized ship. And free onboard
childcare services. Help us use all to our advantage, Lord.
We're
new at this being together business. We each have ideas. Agendas.
Hopes. Plans. Dreams. Sort through them for us, Lord. Magnify the
ones that will ultimately glorify You. Teach us how to speak
honestly, openly, respectfully when problems approach.
I
confess. I tend to withdraw. Hold back. Guard my words. Mm. Yes. I
remember a lesson learned many years ago.
THINK
before we speak. Making sure what we says is: True,
Helpful, Inspiring,
Necessary, Kind.
Too often I leave necessary things unspoken because I don't know how
to say them kindly.
Dearest
Jesus ~ Master Communicator. Teach me how You would have me share my
thoughts, feelings, hopes and dreams. Effectively. Efficiently. And
most of all ~ lovingly.
Blessed
God ~ there is so much more for us to practice and to learn. Keep
working in us that we would do it all wisely and well. We love You so
very much. Let us represent You. Brilliantly. Thank You. We love You.
Amen.
