PRAYER OF THE WEEK

 

 O God, let our hearts and minds be open

to the needs of our neighbours and our own needs.

O God, let our hearts and minds be open

to new ways of caring and living together.

O God, let us know your Spirit

touching and empowering us for loving. Amen.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

 

Before I got married I had six theories about

bringing up children;

now I have six children, and no theories.

 ~John Wilmot

 

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.

 It is then burst into flame by an encounter with

another human being. 

We should all be thankful for those people

who rekindle the inner spirit.  ~Albert Schweitzer

 


Your responsibility as a parent

is not as great as you might imagine. 

You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion-picture star. 

If your child simply grows up to be someone

who does not use the word "collectible" as a noun,

 you can consider yourself an unqualified success. 

~Fran Lebowitz, "Parental Guidance," Social Studies, 1981

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A STEWARDSHIP SECOND

 

“And let us consider how to provoke one another

to love and good deeds...”

...Hebrews 10:24
