A Moment Of Prayer

Dear God: When we pray for others, we discover the best in ourselves. It is like candlelight shining through the darkness, to reveal to us the boundless depths of our hearts.

With Love To Love ~ Dick

A Moment Of Prayer

Dear God: Faith is to believe that things will get better, even if there is no evidence this change has begun. It’s like the songbird welcoming the new day even as it is surrounded by darkness.

Dear God: May I share the law of attraction with readers:

Dear Reader: The law of attraction is simple. If you are angry and confrontational, you will attract other angry and confrontational people. If you are loving and kind, you will attract other loving and kind people. 

Who you want to attract is up to you.

With Love To All ~ Dick

Dear Reader: If you want to find God, look into the eyes of everyone you meet. Like you, they are imperfect, but they too are spiritual beings created as you were.

With Love To All ~ Dick

A Moment Of Prayer

Dear God: May kindness and love become the basis for all religious practices, and donations distributed to those in need, like rain to roses.

With Love To All ~ Dick

A Moment Of Prayer

Dear God: It takes courage to express outlandish opinions for they subject the believer to ridicule. And yet ironically, everything we now think of as normal, began as outlandish opinions.

With Love To All ~ Dick

Dear God: In my youth I was strong and swift, and in old age, I have a lifetime of wisdom, for in your infinite judgment, we must outgrow our youth to fulfill our life’s journey.

With Love To All ~ Dick
