Prayer for today (1/7/16)

Hail to you, Holy God. On this one-of-a-kind new day that you created, may we sing a wonderful song praising you. Be still and slow down, spend time with you, laugh some, talk less and listen more and store up for ourselves treasures in heaven, joyfully serving you and all mankind. Amen.
