a new week


the greatest gifts

may we break boundaries, tear down walls,
and build on the foundation of goodness inside each of us.
may we look past differences, gain understanding, and embrace acceptance.
may we reach out to each other, rather than resist.
may we be better stewards of the earth, protecting, nurturing and replenishing
the beauties of nature.
may we practice gratitude for all we have, rather than complain about our needs.
may we seek cures for the sick, help for the hungry, and love for the lonely.
may we share our talents, give our time, and teach our children.
may we hold hope for the future very tenderly in our hearts and do all we can
to build for bright tomorrows.
and may we LOVE with our whole hearts, for that's the only way to love.

LOVE this poem...I have a difficult time understanding how people can be any other way. Our posts (once again) are similar, so it must be in our hearts to spread a little sunshine today!

Have a BEAUTIFUL day my friend ~
