Tomorrow I will fly home.  None too soon.  I am very proud of the work done by our group of chaplains here.  But ready to go home, and leaving things in good hands here.  Did sing my “Blessing” song this a.m. for our Headquarters morning meeting, which was well received, and meaningful to me to do.  Will post a poem (Tearing), hoping it is not too heavy.

Workplace Blessing

Words & Music – Jim Croegaert

We ask you, Lord, to bless this place
To let the richness of your grace
Touch everywhere within this space
And fill it with your love
With your holy love

We’re gathered here to ask that you
Would bless the work that people do
To make it good and make it true
And fill it with your love
With your holy love

Praise to the One who made us
Who claimed us
Enflamed us
Praise to the One who gave us
Life

We ask you, Lord, to bless this place
To let the richness of your grace
Touch everywhere within this space
And fill it with your love
With your holy love
With your holy love
