ALL THE PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY AND EXTENDED
FAMILY:
PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE
AND FRIENDS NEED FRIENDS,
AND WE ALL NEED LOVE
FOR A FULL LIFE DEPENDS
NOT ON VAST RICHES OR GREAT ACCLAIM,
NOT ON SUCCESS OR ON WORLDLY FAME,
BUT JUST IN KNOWING THAT SOMEONE CARES
AND HOLD US CLOSE
IN THEIR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS -
FOR ON THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WE'RE UNDERSTOOD
MAKES EVERYDAY LIVING
FEEL WONDERFULLY GOOD,
AND WE ROB OURSELVES
OF LIFE'S GREATEST NEED
WHEN WE "LOCK UP OUR HEARTS"
AND FAIL TO HEED
THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND REACHING TO FIND
A KINDRED SPIRIT WHOSE HEART AND MIND
ARE LONELY AND LONGING TO SOMEHOW SHARE
OUR JOYS AND SORROWS AND TO MAKE US AWARE
THAT LIFE'S COMPLETENESS
AND RICHNESS DEPENDS
ON THE THINGS WE SHARE
WITH OUR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS.
LORD, PLEASE HELP EACH AND EVERYONE
THIS WEEK AHEAD.
