“So instead of making vows about how my spiritual life
will be perfectly well organized until I die,
I seek to surrender my will for just this day.
I look for small graces.
I try to engage in little acts of service.
I pray briefly to accommodate my limited attention span.
I look for ways of being with God that I already enjoy.
I try to go for half an hour without complaining.
I try to say something encouraging to three people in a row.
I put twenty dollars in my pocket
that I will give away sometime during the day.
I take a five-minute break to read a page of great thoughts.”
John Ortberg

May today be peace within.
May you trust your highest power
that you are exactly where you are meant to be…
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you…
May you be content knowing you are a child of God…
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love.
It is there for each and every one of you.
Mother Teresa
