A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, July 15th

Good Morning, God,

On Saturday the latest investment for the future in something from the past was dedicated. The pedestrian walkway from the train depot to Third Avenue entitled the "German American Boulevard" was officially named and opened. The Redevelop Old Jasper Action oalition has done another fine job of reminding us of the past with something useful for the future. The walkway provides a smooth, level, safe way to get from one point to another--useful.


We thank you, Lord, for the ability to be reminded of what has been yesterday with something that can be used today and tomorrow. We thank you for reminders that fill in the blanks on the timeline of history, for it is important to build on what has been, and we need to be reminded of the past so that we do not repeat mistakes or do not waste time trying to reinvent the wheel.

We are also grateful, Lord, that while your love for us is fresh each day, we have a history with you. It keeps us in your loving care for the future. Thank you for the past, the present, and the future, Eternal God.

In Jesus's name, Amen.
