Psalm 68:6

God sets the lonely in families,
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

Loving heavenly Father,

I thank you for my earthly parents.

Thank you for their love

Thank you for their example

Thank you that they showed me the way to you

    

When I consider their lives;

their commitment to you

and the love they held for you

which illuminated our home,

I know that they forged the path

on which I now walk.

I regret the ways in which

I not only let you down

but I let them down

forsaking their memory

for some trivial concern,

some momentary selfishness.

Yet, even then,

I know that their love

held me in unconditional positive regard

and that through that

I learned to know

your love.
