may God bless us with discomfort...
at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships so that we may live deep within our hearts.
may God bless us with anger...
at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
may God bless us with tears...
to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war. so that we may reach out our hands to comfort them and to turn
their pain into joy.
and may God bless us with enough foolishness...
to believe that we can make a difference in this world, so that we can DO what others claim cannot be done.
amen.
