BLESSING OF THE DAY - May the Lavish God be with you. May you be aware of God's wanton generosity toward you. May your relationship with this God be one of grateful praise. And may your response be one of reckless abandon as you give yourself into the arms of this God who gifts you so freely. May the Lavish God bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
