Growing thereby, being blessed
We fly high in Jesus.

May the wind be always at your back.

in the palm of His hand.” Gaelic Blessing.

“May the Lord bless you and protect you.
May the LORD smile on you and be gracious to you.

Amen to this, again and again and again! Lord, please continue to keep us safe in the love You
offer us by the Spirit, through Jesus.
There will not be, there cannot be anything in life greater or more glorious than the blessings
You offer us.
Even then, let us proclaim Your praise as most joyfully we worship You through Jesus, alive and
alert to the anointing Spirit.
What it is to know such a love as this. How richly indeed we are blessed to know Your
nurturing, ever caring, life sharing love. Thank You.
