Streams of Mercy

As another school year begins, I share this very special blessing:

“A Back-to-School Blessing”

Bless my paper and my pen.

Guide mu spirit deep within.

Help me think and help me play,

This whole school year, day by day.

As I move from class to class,

Guide my footsteps, clear my path.

Help my tongue to speak your words.

Let your will in me be heard.

In every subject, high or low,

May God’s excellence I show.

Keep me strong to reach the prize,

to grow in grace, becoming wise.

Whether far from home or near,

may I hold God’s precepts dear.

To do my best at every task,

For this blessing, I do ask.

Help my family be a part,

As I lift my mind and heart.

As I study, work ad play,

Be with them throughout the day.

Rev. Marilyn Thornton

May our children be safe from harm as they work and play together.

May they become all you want them to be!

Bless their teachers with patience, understanding and wisdom.

May each classroom be a place where everyone belongs and finds peace.
