Reflection

“You do not just wake up and become a butterfly. Growth is a process.”  ~Author Unknown

Prayer

Loving God,

All of life here on Earth is a process, and each step of the way takes time.  As children, we are so eager to grow and learn and become adults.  However, in reality we come to realize that life is a process that takes time to grow, incorporating what we have learned into what we become in our adult years. Sometimes we rush the growth too quickly, and then we must revert back to missed steps and learn them over again.  Thankfully, your patience with us never rushes us, but rather accepts each person in their own time.  Help us to be patient with others in the same way.  In gratitude, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action
