Reflection

“People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they’re not on your road doesn’t mean they’ve gotten lost.” –Dalai Lama

Prayer

God over all,

You are certainly bigger than all our ideas about you. And there is comfort in that, for it means we can be sincere in our own journeys of faith, while at the same time blessing neighbors and friends on their own roads to fulfillment. In a culture so insistent that one way must be wrong for another to be right, help us instead to embody humility and to believe that you can be trusted to guide each one of us along our way. Amen.

Call to Action

Reframe my perspective on those in my life I am prone to think of as “lost.” Be humble and grant them the dignity of possessing their own path to happiness and fulfillment.
