Powerful God, thank you for the gift of life! Thank you for calling us
out of the dimness of the half-life and into the radiant sunlight of
your hope and joy. Thank you for the resurrection life you pour out
in us, and for our inheritance in you that can never spoil or fade. We
receive all that you have for us and determine to live this life to the
fullest. Amen.176 CLAIRECLONINGER
