Reflection

“They may forget your name, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” ~Maya Angelou

Prayer

Healing God,

Extending your compassionate ministry leads us to encounter many different people in a host of settings. Some of these neighbors we get to know well, while others are in and out of our lives quickly. Yet no matter how deep our engagement, inspire us to serve every person we meet to the best of our ability, including even those times when their condition might mean they never even knew we were there.  Whether they learn or remember our names or not, we know they will never forget how we made them feel; and so may we show everyone we encounter today the dignity, compassion, and kindness they deserve. With gratitude that you know our name and you love us as we are, we pray. Amen.
