| Instead of a lesson for the children, this week I felt that it twas I who needed a refresher course in character. Even we parents need a reminder from time to time to help keep us on track and I just so happened to stumble upon the book of Luke, chapter 6:27-38, and what perfect timing. |
Her eyes are homes of silent
prayers.

This is the precious present
regardless of what yesterday was like
regardless of what tomorrow may bring.
When your inner eyes open
you can find immense beauty hidden within the
inconsequential details of daily life.
When your inner ears open
you can hear the subtle, lovely
music of the universe everywhere you go.
When the heart of your heart opens
you can take deep pleasure in the company
of the people around you...
family, friends, acquaintances, or strangers
including those whose characters are less than perfect
just as your character is less than perfect.
When you are open to the beauty, mystery, and grandeur
of ordinary existence, you "get it"
that it always has been beautiful, mysterious,
and grand and always will be.
This is the precious present.
