one kind word

Beloveds, one kind word
said to another
can inspire them to greatness!

So much of what is really important
we forget to say.
Even to those we disagree with,
we must offer a kind word.

Today, smile at a stranger
and say hello.

Compliment your family members
friends and co-workers.

Say only good and watch
the mystery of the day
unfold in beauty when you
become the fruit of divine love!

Beloveds,
Why do we disdain one another?
Your blood is as red as my blood
and our tears both taste salty,
like the ocean.

You have mourned your lost dreams
and loved ones, as I have mourned mine.

As I watch our children happily
playing together,
new dreams emerge and to you
I offer my hand in friendship.

We cannot change our yesterdays.
What we can do is to begin
this new day in appreciation
of our children as our most precious gifts.

Our children offer love and dream
of building bridges of understanding and joy.

This dream for is possible
only through our compassionate hearts.

Affirmation: today let us honor the dreams
of our children. Please join me.
We will use the tools of our hearts
---compassion, hope, forgiveness, kindness,
patience, sharing and understanding.

Together we build new bridges of joy
and hope for a better world for our children.
This is love in action-- love infinite in divine possibility!

Beloveds,
is there one among us or our ancestors
who has caused no harm?

Do we desire to continue to destroy
ourselves through hate and anger?

Our greed and need for power
has created dangerous cycles of destruction.
We must stop now!

It is time for us to renew our spirits.
Honor the dead
and give their lives meaning in love.

There is no true way to heal
except to acknowlege the pain
and offer forgiveness.
How does this happen?
Only through compassion, and love.

Love is the gift that heals our hearts
and creates room for spiritual renewal.
There is hope only through love.
Renew your spirit.

Affirmation: Today we honor the dead
for they have been returned to God.
We give their lives meaning
through our loving compassionate actions
and begin to build a world of eternal grace!

Yes, from time to time we may falter.
Thus we re-member love and begin again!

with love to ALL---miss mellie rainbow
