PRAYER
Lord, help us to remember that others dont always see the way we do, hear what we hear, feel what we feel, or understand things the way weve come to understand them. You give each of us gifts that are uniquely ours, but so often we fail to value the gift in another, judging other gifts as wrong or somehow less important than our own. Give us the compassionate arms, no matter what our age, colour, creed, history or belief. Help us to remember that you are Life itself, and that you are using every one of our unique gifts to bring us together with you once again.
