Lord, you provide the strong warp threads of our lives–
Family, friends, love, trust…anchors that support us.
Each day, we weave the varied weft threads…
Rainbows of color and texture:
Shades of gold and red–bright colors of joy and gladness
Darker hues of gray and black for sorrows and sadnesses
Steady strands of blue and green for more ordinary times…
All woven together, day by day.
At the end of our days, our fabric finished,
May all our patterns please you.
