God of rest and recreation, who gave us six days to do our work and at least one to rest, we give you thanks this day for a trip to grandma and grandpas. We give you thanks for their neighbors who are out of town, and let us use the pool. And Lord, as a father in love with his children, I give you thanks that they are slumbering peacefully in the backseat of the car on the way home. Grant that they may always feel this level of safety and comfort in my presence, and grant that I never ever take for granted a single blessed moment of this wild calling to be a dad. If it's not too much to ask, dearest Lord, let them also not be too grumpy when they wake up at home. In the name of the God who gives us Rest, Jesus His Son, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
