Time to Pray

We have packed our bags and are still thinking about things that we should have remembered to bring, but can't remember. We had a last minute emergency on Thursday when Karen had an infected front tooth removed and needs to take medication. She won't be eating hard food for a few days.
We are nervous, excited, and a bit apprehensive about what lies ahead. We have an ambitious schedule that will take a lot of planning as we go with the grace of God. We leave Bradley Airport on Sunday at 2:30 PM and arrive in Frankfurt on Monday at 7:00 AM.

Lord God our Father, you kept Abraham and Sarah in safety throughout the days of their pilgrimage, you led the children of Israel through the midst of the sea, and by a star you led the Wise Men to the infant Jesus. Protect and guide us now in this time as we set out to travel, make our ways safe and our homecomings joyful, and bring us at last to our heavenly home, where you dwell in glory with you Son and the Holy Spirit, God forever. AMEN
