Reflection

“Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.”   
~Madam CJ Walker

Prayer

God of Opportunities,

Each day presents us with a variety of experiences, both at home and in the workplace.  Often, we miss the chance to take advantage of the opportunities waiting for us that may make our lives better, leading to making a better world. When we focus on others, helping them where help is needed, we are creating life-giving opportunities which in turn will benefit many.  Guide us away from self-focus to other-focus so that more opportunities for good may arise. For this we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

What opportunities do I see in front of me that will bring good to others?  Get up and make
them happen.
