A Thought for Today
God never gives any of us more than we can handle. Stretching exercises for the mind, heart and soul are every bit as important as push-ups for the body.
FROM the¨BOOKS
IN ORDER OF IMPORTANCE
Bless the children first,
for they need help
just to get them safely
down the block.
With all the mazes
that we make for them
(like teaching them to hate
before they learn to spell)
It is a wonder that they ever find
the door that opens out to adolescence.
Bless the animals
hat sniff the kitchen floor
and those that prowl the hills
Animals, like angels, need protection,
because we use them only
as a substitute for love -
the kind that other people promise us
while they steal our evenings
and before they sneak away.
- from "An Outstretched Hand," 1980
