Give me Strength
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
We are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
cast down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 8,9

Compassion
Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me. I vow to live fully in each moment and look at all beings with the eyes of compassion.
