Needed ideas

[Mark Swinney, “Being offended is not inevitable,” Sentinel, March 21, 2022]

Thank you so much for these ideas. I really need them these days. My only response is to keep this consciousness and listen for how God’s power and presence will work it all out.

Begins with me

[Voices and Prayers from the Field, Laura Lapointe, Christian A. Harder, Graham Thatcher, Rosalie E. Dunbar, Douglas Paul, and Béatrice Labarthe, cssentinel.com, March 18, 2022]

Thanks for “How are you praying for Ukraine?” The depth and love of each answer was obvious and clear. It showed me that a deep response can be short, and a heartfelt desire to be of help can prompt the right idea. It also showed me that peace and healing begin with me—not out there somewhere. Thank you.

This beautiful poem is just what we need to include in our prayers for a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
