When I am alone the flowers are really seen…
I can pay attention to them…
They are felt presences. – Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection:
Lord, remind us that life’s greatest treasures aren’t things, but moments. A shared laugh, a quiet sunrise, a hand held in kindness. Teach us to collect memories, not stuff. To chase wonder, not wealth. May our hearts be full, even when we fall short in other areas. Amen. – Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Today’s Reflection:
Did I offer peace today?
Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?
Did I say words of healing?
Did I let go of my anger and resentment?
Did I forgive?
Did I love?
These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. – Henri Nouwen, quote from the podcast, Radical Sacred.

Today’s Reflection: Serenity Prayer (Complete version)
O God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference;
living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. – Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

Today’s Reflection:
Knowing God
The way I do
And knowing me
The way I do,
One thing is more than clear to me:
That all of my life –
The favour,
The blessings,
The “any good at all”
Is simply (and amazingly)
A result of who He is
In spite of who I am. – Stacey L. Sanchez

Today’s Reflection: For Flowers That Bloom
For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
For blue of stream and blue of sky;
For pleasant shade of branches high;
For fragrant air and cooling breeze;
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee! – Ralph Waldo Emerson
