I thought this was such a wonderful idea that I asked the deacon of my church if I could share it. She said, “of course!”
At each of our deacon meetings, we start with a devotional or simple prayer. She entwined the two by having us each choose an egg. Inside each egg was a delicious piece of chocolate or jelly beans and a tiny little scroll that she tied closed with a piece of the green grass.
On each of the small scrolls was a line of blessing that when read in any order created a beautiful prayer.
It didn’t matter if all the eggs were taken or only some. It didn’t matter who started or who ended. The prayer in the form of a blessing just continued to unfold.
What blessings can you think of:
May we . . . .
May God . . . .
May the world . . .
