Lord, today is the beginning of a new week and we have a fresh start as we go out into the world of work and school.  Help our interactions with others and our mouths reflect you living in us.  I pray that Alyssa and Kyle always watches what comes out of their mouths and speak with love and holiness. May every spoken word be pleasing to you.  Today, is a new day, dear Jesus!  Help us to reflect you to the world around us!
