BLESSING OF THE DAY - May the God of Comfort bless you. May God's care for you ease all that is troubling to you and reassure you in times of adversity. May you be encouraged by the whisper of God's love for you in the center of your being and may you rest securely in the arms of the One who will never let go of you. May you extend the hand of comfort to those around you who are in need of that same reassurance. May the God of Comfort be with you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
