Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow Love
Where there is injury, Forgiveness
Where there is discord, Unity
Where there is doubt, Faith
Where there is error, Truth
Where there is despair, Hope
Where there is sadness, Joy
Where there is darkness, Light
Grant that I may not seek to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that I receive
It is in pardoning that I am pardoned
And it is in dying that I am born to eternal life.

San Diego Fires

Today we had a group prayer for all the people in California who are affected by the fires. I have prayed individually, but I felt like the international group had more clout, somehow. Whatever works! My brother and his wife were evacuated in San Diego- the Witch fire is threatening their area. My brother Stephen, however, is helping set up shelters, and his wife, Aina is helping the firemen- so giving and caring they are in this chaotic time! San Diego is my second favorite city- I do not want to see it burning! We had the Incline fire here last month, and who could forget the Hayman fire! Then, of course, there is the time when lightning struck directly and burned the top of my home! This has all been in the last 2 years! I am still unsettled. Am I enlightened yet? Is anyone? Keep Praying!!!
