Of the so many years I attended service (easily 23 years * 52 weeks = 1200 times), this the first time I heard the following benediction:
May God the Father prepare your journey,
Jesus the Son guide your footsteps,
The Spirit of Life strengthen your body.
The Three in One watch over you on every road that you may be fallen.
Amen
I do not know where the minister got this from, as I search around, I couldn’t find the origin. Nevertheless, when I heard this, I felt as if he was giving it specifically for us. For we were about to take the big scary journey we had to take.
Thank you Xi Ann. Thank you Lord for such blessing on our big trip.
