Thanks For This World and The Next

Most gracious God:  we give you humble thanks for the world which you have prepared for our dwelling place, for friends and kindred, for that larger home of seen and unseen followers of your Son, and even for the disappointments of this life which remind us of your promise of that better life with you and our departed loved ones,  May we live this life on earth triumphantly in the knowledge of that perfect life with you.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.
