 May God's goodness be yours,

and well, and seven times well, may you spend your lives:

may you be an isle in the sea,

may you be a hill on the shore,

may you be a star in the darkness,

may you be a staff to the weak;

may the love Christ Jesus gave fill every heart for you;

may the love Christ Jesus gave fill you for every one. **


God bless you each and all in your ministry.



Grace and peace,

Gabe Lamazares
