No prompt again this morning.  I can forgive him–I am sometimes a little behind, too.

Here’s a Gratitude List:
1. The helpers, people who dive in to rescue the refugees from their boats, who help to resettle people here, who offer a bottle of water, a piece of fruit, an encouraging word.
2. The rising clamor of voices calling for peaceful solutions and responses.  The peacemakers are rising.
3. The student who came to me for help in redrafting her college entrance exam–she wants to become a nurse so she can have skills to offer in places around the world where people are suffering.
4. Love.  It casts out fear.
5. Again, that fantastic formation of starlings that wheels and swirls above the hollow.  We can create a beautiful dance, too, when we fly together.

Let’s raise our voices in the name of Compassion, Beauty, and Peace.
