August 22

Each day offers many opportunities to smile when others don't and be more patient when others aren't. Lord, may I be an example of Your presence within me and a reminder to others that You are there for them too.
Each day there are lessons to learn and lives to touch. Lord, You have done so much for me. Help me to repay You.
