How God Writes

Sufficient unto today
I pray for the grace
To be who I am today,
To be where I am today,
To be with the people
Whom God has placed
in my life today:Without judgment,
Without resentment,
Without expectation.In loving acceptance,
In trusting anticipation,
In faith-filled hope,
May I savor the gift of today.Fr. M. Keith LaBove
