The God Squad: A Godwink and ‘Keeping the Faith’

Rabbi Marc Gellman, Tribune Content Agency on

Anyway, that movie receipt from Blockbuster (you are dating yourself because Blockbuster is long gone) is amazing, but more amazing is that you are writing to me now without realizing that in a way we already met at the cemetery. May God comfort you on the passing of your daughter. Know this: The God Squad is always with you! I pray that Tommy is showing Kristen around Heaven. Some day (I am not in a rush) I hope to join them on the tour. God bless you.

More prayers taught to us by our parents…

My parents were wonderfully devout people and taught us this prayer from when we were all very little. My two sisters and two brothers have taught it to their children and their children have passed it on to their own little ones. It's very simple,

God bless me and make me a good girl/boy to always do what is right.

I love you, dear God!

 

And our own daughter has added the names of family members to bless who have passed on.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say this once again. -- (From M and B)
