Good Morning, God,
Ah, the joy of being on one's own watercraft, paddling madly on the Patoka with a few good friends and competitors.
Such was the situation last Saturday, Lord, as the Holy Family School Patoka Cardboard Boat Regatta took place. Oh, the intense looks, the struggling grimaces, the determined paddling, made the day a great competition. Really, Lord, if a boat stayed upright and afloat, the boat builders tasted success. If the boat was not water worthy-well, the boaters tasted the Patoka.
Heavenly father, who made us to enjoy fun in life, we thank you for the many opportunities we have to have friendly competitions, created wonders, the use of our own waterways, the celebration of winning and the desire "to do it again next year," even when it all doesn't go according to plan or as we had hoped.
We give you thanks for the opportunities we have to have fun with others in this life.
In Jesus's name, Amen.
