Beautiful message to start the day, in this season and all year round ~ Heavenly Father, Please, help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is the single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry, and spend a few precious moments with her children. Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who cannot make change correctly is a worried 19-year old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student loans for next semester. Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, who begs for money in the same spot every day (who really ought to get a job), is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares. Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through the store and blocking our progress are savoring the moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this will be the last year they go shopping together. Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is LOVE. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those who are close to us, but also to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge, and quick to forgive, to show patience and love. Amen. Author Unknown
