May I be the stone, the
pebble,
the rock thrown into the
water;
Sending out ripples
to become a great wave
May I not wait for others
for an apology from those
who hurt us;
Seeking to follow Christ’s
command
to love as He loved (and
loves) us
May I heed the calling
the command of Jesus;
May I start by speaking love
forgiveness for my neighbor

“Today my prayers are many, but the one that
weighs heaviest on my heart is that our Heavenly Father guide our hearts to
speak with love, mercy and compassion and not with venom, poison, and hate.
Amen.”
