Empty
nesters are people who no longer have the responsibility of
orchestrating the day-to-day lives of their most precious
possessions--their children.
Empty nesters try to stay busy--often doing things for their children--but it isn't the same as when their children were under their roof and their lives were closely knit together.
Empty nesters will spend the remainder of their lives focused upon the activities and acquisitions and achievements of their children. They will pray for them without ceasing, they will love them without condition, they will keep them forever in their hearts.

LORD JESUS, those whose children are grown and away from them need a special touch from YOU to make their lives rich and full at a time when the most meaningful part of their lives is no longer their responsibility.
Those whose children and grandchildren aren't part of their everyday routine need a special touch from YOU to make the everyday part of their lives special in new ways.
Those whose children and grandchildren are near in heart yet far in distance need to know that YOU wrap their precious ones in YOUR love, YOUR power, YOUR protection, YOUR provision--and that YOU will hold their hands and will keep them in all times, in all places.
LORD JESUS, we ask YOU to protect our families and to supply their every need, according to YOUR riches in glory. It is in YOUR wonderful name we pray. Amen.
