In view of the events that are happening in our country, in our world. I offer you these words for thought.

Let there be peace on earth with every person loving, not judging, not hating. Let every man, woman and child strive for understanding. Let cruel words dissolve and positive thoughts prevail. Let there be peace.

Let creativity flow from every person. Let them find joy in the gifts they possess. Let them dwell on ways to build together creating a universal canvas celebrating all humanity. Let us all raise voices full of hope and joy. Let there be beauty.

Let us embrace this earth that provides life. Let us work together to save trees that provide for every living creature. Let us protect and love each creature that wants life as much we do. Let us tend their roots as we must do our own. Let there be action.

Let us embrace our differences, the uniqueness we each possess. For in that embracing we experience the love of God. Let all cruelty, bigotry, bullying, oppression fade into oblivion. Let there be hope.

Let the sun shine on a world where unity and cooperation prevail. Let us all choose love over hate. Acceptance over judgment. Where color, religion, sexual preference, origin and circumstance of birth are accepted by all. Let there be joy.

Dear God, let us be what you created us to be. Let there be love.
