Reflection

“If someone offers you a breath mint, accept it.” –H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Prayer

Spirit of Wisdom,

Some wisdom is hard to put into practice. But some is quite easy. Help us each day to focus on the simple things that we know we should do to show respect and belonging to the people around us. Bring us closer together in unity and peace, that we might continue to build a community with solid foundations, established on civility and decency, and a readiness to lend a hand where we can. When we start to make things complex, bring us back to the basics. Amen.

Call to Action

Remind myself today of the simplest rules, which can nonetheless be hard to put into practice, starting with the golden rule—treating others the way I would want to be treated.
