Ever loving God,

we, your children,

always grateful for your gift

of family,

thank you for the holiness

of our homes.

Graced by your abiding presence,

may we appreciate your gifts,

experience your joy,

endure our messiness and

remain hopeful during difficulties.

May all of us,

whoever we are,

never forget that you

are at the heart

of all the love that we share.

Amen.
