God of all creation, we offer you grateful praise for the gift of Lois' life. Hear the prayers of Lois, your servant, who recalls the day of her birth and rejoices in your gifts of life and love, family, and friends. Bless her with your presence and surround her with your love so that she may continue to enjoy her years on this earth, all of them pleasing to you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
