be blessed...

as you face the reality that not everyone will agree with you,

that the world is full of thinking minds & varying opinions,

& that not all of those will be of the same accord.

be blessed...

as you seek out humility-

knowing that who are you today may not be who you are tomorrow.

be willing to love others as you continue to seek.

be willing to stay engaged, to listen-

not simply waiting to share your opinion-

but listening to truly understand.

be blessed in who you are.

know that there is something out there that began writing a story long ago.

you are part of that story-

in your flaws & wrong thinking...

and in your ability to love those who differ.

you can stand firm in knowing you are in a safe place,

you are wanted,

and you are cherished.

amen.
