It’s short for God be with you. If I truly, intentionally thought God be with you every time I parted from relative, friend, and stranger with this most common saying, who knows what blessings might come of it?

Perhaps each time we say “goodbye” we could put our imagination cap on before, during and after we speak the word, yet think “God be with you”. Maybe something to try.
Very true! It’s a wonderful way to remember the blessing when we say the short-hand version…peace, Johnna
