Rod's random thoughts Holidays mean the most when you are celebrating what you’ve found yourself.

The heart has its reasons.

Believe in something, even if it’s only your own ability to believe.

A THANKSGIVING PRAYER FOR
THOSE WHO CANNOT PRAY

To those who cannot pray. To those who cannot walk upon the ground. To those who cannot see and those who cannot hear the world around them. To those who cannot speak. To those in misery and discomfort. To those poor of means or poor of spirit and those who feel oppressed or put upon. To those who have not yet found a God or someone they can pray to or someone with whom to pray.

For these our sisters and our brothers who do not pray and will not pray, we ask that you provide enough wisdom and compassion in all of us to pray for them . . . and for ourselves that we may find better ways of caring for and helping one another.

RM 11/21/98. Adapted from "A Prayer For Our Special Brothers & Sisters" -from "An Outstretched Hand.", 1980
