Reflection

“The rooster who took credit for the sunrise is outraged to be blamed for the sunset.” –David Frum

Prayer

Humble worker,

We are all prone at times to be quick to take credit yet slow to take blame. Heal us of our self-centered tendencies and help us to see the big picture. Open our eyes to the many hands and voices that are working in sync, each and every day, to extend your healing love to all those in need. Lead us to greater collaboration and innovation so that we can feel rightly proud of the multiple gifts in our midst. The people and talent, skills and ambitions, and the hearts of compassion longing to make of your world something good. Lead us together, in the humble pursuit of a job well done. Amen.

Call to Action

Whatever my role and function, open my eyes today to the many collaborators beside me who enable our work to flourish. Be glad.
