A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, July 29th

Good Morning, God
Lord, there certainly are a lot of great people around Dubois County, and we need to give thanks for them today.  Oh, Lord, we don't necessarily mean folks who are in positions of power and authority.  They constantly make the headlines and constantly need our prayers.  But today we give thanks for the people that serve us through our neighborhood businesses, dealing with our problems with refrigerators and lawnmowers, automobiles and water heaters, air conditioners and termites.  Lord, about the only time these folks are in the headlines are because of their paid advertisements, not because they've done something to warrant headlines and stories.
So today, Lord, thank you for our small business owners who open their shops and stores each day, who respond to our daily emergencies, who don't always charge us for everything they do, who give us "loaners" and free advice, who give others jobs and who give us smiles and good, kind advice.  Bless our small business owners with great customers and your wisdom.
In Jesus name, Amen
