PRAYER
God, I'm so glad that you want me in your life. I'm not always in touch with that joy and my expressions are akward. You know that about me and yet you still offer me a place at your table. Help me to grow in awareness of the privelege and in the kind of life that reflects the honor you bestow. I want the joy to bubble over and encourage others to join us at the party. Amen.
