This week I officiated over a married couple’s renewal of marriage vows in the presence of their family and friends. It was so uplifting to see a couple so much in love that their union has flourished for 43 years.
The looks of love in each set of the couple’s eyes matched the love radiating from their hearts, and the appreciation they have for each other, melted not only my heart, but all who attended the ceremony, and the following celebrations which lasted for three straight days.
Their Renewal of Marriage Vows reception overflowed with numerous memories which both the guests and they shared, usually followed by much laughter and joy.
This is the physical book which may be purchased at: https://store.ulc.net/Universal-Minister-Manual-p/ministers-handbook.htm. This is a beautiful help to all ministers and can be easily adapted to specific denominations.

House Blessing
Angels of Light and Love, fill this house with the radiant warmth of our Divine Creator.
Touch every nook and cranny with peace, harmony and compassion of our Divine Inspiration.
Allow all family, friends and guests to bask in the tender and loving embrace of the I Am Presence in all of us who live here.
Ground our house with understanding and forgiveness.
And forever be the pillar of strength that supports our hearts and our minds.
Meal Blessing
Bless this food, Oh God, with Your Heavenly Vibration.
Raise the level of my awareness to realize the wholesome goodness in what You have grown for me.
Nourish me in body, mind, and soul and transform this food into loving service of You.
Yard Blessing
Thank You God, Author of all life, for this yard, this part of the earth You have allowed me to care for.
I ask Your blessing on all living, growing things, that they flourish under Your ever-watchful eye.
Allow my hands to be Your hands as I work the soil, plant the seed, feed the birds and care for the animals You send my way.
Let those who walk by enjoy the beauty of Your creation, and breathe in the tranquility of Your Spirit.
Night Blessing
Oh Divine Mother Spirit, care, protect and nurture us this night.
Show us our Divine Helpers, our Guardian Angels, Our Solar Angels, the Archangels.
Remind us we are not alone.
Surround us with our spiritual guides, our animals guides, our healing devas.
Help us remember our dreams, that place where you speak to us and unfold our lives.
Embrace our footsteps of the day as we journey on our way to You.
Receive our love for You as we love one another, loving You in them.
Driver’s Blessing
Help me to remember, Oh God, that I am not Mario Andretti.
Send me gentle reminders that this road that I am on is not the Indy 500.
Let me see the person in front of me as my friend, as You.
Please don’t look back in the rearview mirror Lord, I’ll try to be better, safer, more tolerant.
And I’ll try not to drive faster than my angels can fly.
