Today’s Reflection: Here’s to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world. They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. Look for them in this present darkness. Light your candle with their flame. And then go. Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible. It begins with us. ― L.R.

Today’s Reflection: Dear God, On this day I ask You to grant this request. May I know who I am and what I am, Every moment of every day. May I be a catalyst for light and love, And bring inspiration to those whose eyes I meet. May I have the strength to stand tall in the face of conflict, And the courage to speak my voice, even when I’m scared. May I have the humility to follow my heart, And the passion to live my soul’s desires. May I seek to know the highest truth And dismiss the gravitational pull of my lower self. May I embrace and love the totality of myself? My darkness as well as my light. May I be brave enough to hear my heart? To let it soften so that I may gracefully Choose faith over fear. Today is my day to surrender anything that stands Between the sacredness of my humanity and my divinity. May I be drenched in my Holiness And engulfed by Your love. May all else melt away. And so it is. — Debbie Ford Morning Offering is a daily post by Joe Barkovich, who lives in his hometown of Welland, Ontario. Daily photo by Joe Barkovich. Morning Offering is posted by 8 a. m.

Today’s Reflection: PRAYER – Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart.
My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can’t seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly.
Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you’ve laid out for me.
I trust your Love, God, and know that you will heal this stress. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night.
Please bring me clarity with the light of God. In your name I pray. Amen. — Author unknown Morning Offering is a daily post by Joe Barkovich, who lives in his hometown of Welland, Ontario. Daily photo by Joe Barkovich. Morning Offering is posted by 8 a. m.
