Today’s Reflection: God bless the hidden hands that serve without recognition….

The early risers,

The late-night workers,

The ones who make our lives easier every day. – Mindful Christianity

Today’s Reflection: Before Us

We lift our gazes not
To what stands between us,
But what stands before us.
We close the divide,
Because we know to put
Our future first, we must first
Put our differences aside  –  Poem by Amanda Gorman

Today’s Reflection: For Courage To Do Justice

O Lord, open my eyes that I may see the needs of others
Open my ears that I may hear their cries;
Open my heart so that they need not be without succor;
Let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong,
Nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.
Show me where love and hope and faith are needed,
And use me to bring them to those places.
And so open my eyes and my ears
That I may this coming day be able to do some work of peace for thee. – Alan Paton, South Africa, United Methodist Hymnal #456

Today’s Reflection: Prayer to St. Francis

You who, unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding, give us the courage to build bridges where the world raises up boundaries.

In this time afflicted by conflict and division, intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers: unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace that comes from Christ. Amen. – Author unknown.

Today’s Reflection: Lord,

When we stumble and fall, lift us up.

When nothing seems sure, give us trust.

When we lose our way, be our guide. – Author unknown
