fairs to conduct a review of ex-

Austin - Said a prayer for you today . ..
I said a prayer for you today and knew God must
have heard. I felt the answer in my heart, although
I heard no word. I didn’t ask for wealth or fame (I
knew you wouldn’t mind), I asked to send you trea-
sures of a far more lasting kind. I asked God to be
near you at the start of each new day, to grant you
health and blessing and friends to share your way. I
asked for happiness for you in all things great and
small, but it was God’s loving care for you that I
prayed for most of all.
Love you,........._
