Since we are celebrating Caroline’s first birthday today (it was yesterday, but her dad was in Sitka with the basketball team he coaches) I thought I’d share a birthday prayer from the Book of Common Prayer–
Watch over thy child, O Lord, as her days increase; bless and guide her wherever she may be. Strengthen her when she stands; comfort her when discouraged or sorrowful; raise her up if she fall; and in her heart may thy peace which passeth understanding abide all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
