A Blessing

May the love of the Lord of the Sea Islands enfold you; May the spirit of the salt marsh and sweetgrass enliven you; May the gracious and gentle sea breezes renew you;
May the grandeur and grace of the great live oak fortify you; May the ready resilience of the palmetto steady you;
May you love the Lord Jesus as beautifully as he has loved you; And the blessing of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit be upon you now and forever.  Amen.
