Lord, stay close to our hearts and souls to remind us to love each other always. Is that not the crux of joy?
You see the evils people perpetrate on our loved ones, so I pray especially for your support of my niece M and her family in the adversity they now suffer. As in the world’s broader targets, even so the personal agonizes us. Remind us to give the benefit of the doubt because we do not know as much as we think we do about anyone’s life.
“Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,” you taught us to pray. And you said to remove the log from my own eye before I go after the mote in a brother’s eye. I confess I’ve always been judgmental, so should it be a surprise that the issue arises for examination this holy day?
You give unexpected gifts, including the rough ones, and I thank you. Happy Birthday, JC
