Reflection

“The first wealth is health.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prayer

God of creation, during this past year we learned perhaps more powerfully than ever before of the importance of health. But more so, we learned about how our health is interconnected with the health of others. Give us the courage and the will power to pursue healthy living in the coming year and act in ways that are beneficial to the health of others. May we never take our health, or that of others, for granted. Bless our efforts in the days ahead to take better care of the precious gift of life you have given each of us. In your name we pray. Amen.
