Heavenly Father!

Thank you for allowing us to gather here today on this joyous

occasion. Bless this happy retirement program, in which we ask that you impart
your blessing upon each of us. And I implore that you bestow a special blessing
to your daughter Maam vangie in this new road ahead entering her retirement.

We come to you in thankfulness for the many years of service given by our
friend and colleague Maam Vangie who is retiring. We thank you for the long-
term contributions she had made in the execution of daily tasks, in her loyalty to
our school, and in sharing of her experiences and wisdom with us most
especially with the learners.

We are appreciative of her hard work and dedication. Mommy Vanz adapted to
many changes over the years and has made sacrifices of her personal time when
the job demanded it. She had been a mentor,friend, and mother to us, and has
worked faithfully despite her own personal obligations, joys, and challenges.

We pray for your continued blessings on her during this next phase of her life.
May your Presence be with her as she chooses new paths and explores new
horizons. May she be blessed with strong networks of friends and family to
enjoy the journey that lies ahead.

Keep them vigorous in body, mind, soul, and spirit. Open new doors of service
that will satisfy her desire to give and that will make a lasting difference in our
world. May he find many receptive hearts and minds for the wisdom she had to
offer and many recipients to receive her love and care.

Today we leave her with this blessing from the book of Matthew: “Well done,
good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put
you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”
(Matthew 25:23)

And so we end our prayer, thankful for what has been and grateful for what has
yet to be.

Amen.
