From Conquering hate, enthroning peace

Love's triumph over hate

How can we love when others hate? Prayerful turning to God, divine Love, with the earnest desire to express His qualities under all circumstances will give us strength and ability to do right.

GREEN GRASS OF GRATITUDE

Ruth King
Green grass of gratitude, uplift my thought!Transform the dust heaps and the wintry earthOf loneliness, self-pity, hurt, and prideWith your compassionate growth and tender green,And I will water with repentant tearsAnd tend the shoots with love and kindliness;Reach deep into the warmth of kindling earthWith fingers quick to find the envious weeds,The clinging growths of fear and self-conceit.

Nancy E. Barnhart
Dry-shod they walk across the sandWhere late the Red Sea rolled,For Israel's tried and holy bandIs safe within the fold.
