Proverbs 31:26

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

For many of these tropical destinations and adventures this summer, I have had my mother as my travel companion. We enjoyed the study of cruise ships, destinations and comparing experiences we would both like to try as we planned this year’s cruise. We shared wisdom on what to pack for travel, fun and various needs of being away for a week. And of course, as the adventure began, we needed kindness to one another and to ourselves as the stress of travel, the unknown and uncontrollable was bound to happen. We each tried new food. My mother enjoyed making new friends. I enjoyed being able to try my favorite beach activity, snorkeling, at multiple islands. We both practiced care for one another as we truly had marvelous vacation. And we were so grateful to have been able to experience the beauty of God’s creation, Christ’s presence in others and sustain Spirit interwoven through it all.

 

Prayer

Loving Lord, when we enjoy the fun of new adventures with family or friends, we are grateful that you walk with us. When we sit down to enjoy a new food we offer prayers of thanks for your work among the hands that prepared it. When we rest of the night, we offer gratitude to you safely watching over us till morn. It is in Christ’s name we pray, as surely as the sun rises again the next day, Amen.
