My heart rejoices that a box like this was made in todays climate. Whether or not you wish to buy such a box I am pleased that you can at least get to read such a sentiment, it can change your day, most certainly your life
Inscribed:
'Gracious and holy Father, Give us Wisdom to perceive thee, Intelligence to understand thee, Diligence to seek thee, Patience to wait for thee, a Heart to meditate on thee, a Life to proclaim thee, Through the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ Our Lord'
