Day 245

Everyone is dealing with something.

Some are fighting battles we know nothing about.

Some are lonely.

Some are afraid.

Some are sick.

Some are worried.

Some are tired.

Everyone needs love and compassion.

God,

Help me to love others as You love me.

Amen.

Day 243

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

– Mother Teresa

Day 240

God,

Grant me a good night’s sleep tonight, so that I can awake refreshed and ready to begin another day.

Thank You for every bit of love, mercy, and grace that was shown to me .

When I awake in the morning, may it be with a joyful smile.

Amen
