"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word." 2 Thess 2:16 (NIV)
Lord, bless those who have served you by their kindness and good deeds. Remember them, and store treasures in heaven for them as they shine here on earth reminding us of your love. Bless them with joy and laughter. "May the God of peace…equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever." Hebrews 13:20-21
