Reflection

“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” ~ Pericles

Prayer

Faithful Lord,

Too often, our lives can get tangled with the problems and tasks of the day. Our personal forest can grow so thick, it can block out the sun. Help us to remember in those times why we exist. Renew within us our commitment to the noble purpose for which we have been created. Make us always mindful of our call to positively influence the lives of those we touch. We pray in the name of
God. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on my influence on the lives of others. What is the shape and substance of my influence? Is it what I want it to be? If not, how can I make it so?
