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 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
