Reflection

“Sometimes you can’t pay it back, so you just have to pay it forward.” –Randy Pausch

Prayer

God over all,

Our lives have been abundantly blessed by people whose influence has made us into who we are today. Sometimes we don’t even realize the good things they gave us until it’s too late to thank them properly. Nonetheless, with grateful hearts, we thank you for them and ask that you would help us honor their impact by paying forward the goodness they showed us. In our relationships at work and home and all in between, may we each try just a bit more to really see one another and speak life to all, especially those most in need of a kind word. Amen.

Call to Action

Take some time to think about the influential champions in my life, who helped me get where I am today. How can I pay that gift of support forward for those I lead and serve beside today?
