For Marilee

Isaiah 52:7 (New International Version)

 ⁷ How beautiful on the mountains
       are the feet of those who bring good news,
       who proclaim peace,
       who bring good tidings,
       who proclaim salvation,
       who say to Zion,
       "Your God reigns!"

May the Lord our God bless your feet that journeyed many miles and toiled long hours for the love of His children.

May the work of your hands be multiplied and magnified by the mighty power of our God who reigns.

May the Lord our God bless the good tidings you bore and the salvation you showed: His heart to our daughter and her friends.

May the Lord our God confirm in your mind and seal on your heart His good pleasure and purpose for all you did, and all that will be, because of your faithful response to His call.

And may this serve as a "stone", a marker for you, Emma Kate, of the many, mighty and wonderous things the Lord YOUR God did and has done and will do for you, his sweet and beloved daughter.

Marilee, may the Lord bless and keep you, and restore and revive you!

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Amen and amen.
