Reflection for the Day
Good Morning 
If we attempt to understand rather than to be understood, we can more quickly assure a newcomer that we have no desire to convince anyone that there is only one way by which faith can be acquired. All of us, whatever our race, creed, color, or ethnic heritage, are connected to a Higher Power, with whom we may form a relationship upon simple and understandable terms—as soon as we are willing and honest enough to try. Do I know the difference between sympathy and empathy? Can I put myself in the newcomer’s shoes?
Today I Pray
May I love all humanity as children of a living Power. May I respect the different ways through which we all find and worship a Higher Power. May I never be so rigid as to discount another’s faith or so insensitive that I use the fellowship of the group as a preaching ground to extol my beliefs as the only way. I can only know what works for me.
Today I Will Remember
We are all children of something bigger and greater than ourselves.
