Dear God,

Thank you for this school term. We're grateful for all we've learned, the friends we've made, and the growth we've experienced. As we finish today, we ask for your blessings on our holidays, that they may be safe, restful, and filled with joy. Help us to carry forward the lessons we've learned and to return refreshed and ready for what comes next.

Amen.
