May the first words I speak today, and the last ones tonight, be: Thank you!
May I see beyond myself into the suffering of another, into the pain that could be mine but is no less severe because it isn’t.
May I accept the offer of forgiveness and then extend it to someone else.
May I discover one thing new, let go of one thing no longer needed, and feel good about both.
May I look ahead this morning, and back over the day tonight, and may I see the same scene from both directions: the two of us walking side by side. The Christ of my day; the Christ of my life. Let it be so. Amen.
Shining Spirit
