I am one of the four siblings born off simple non-celebrity parents as I recall of them. As my father died quite early, so My Grandmother took it upon us to bring us up. Till her death She was both mother and father to us.
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. - Henri Nouwen

In Touch with Our Inner Child
As I continue to muse inwardly, I can see the child in me. It is still there lurking behind the false exterior I am able to put on my face.To people, I may look like a worldly person who has learned from her experiences. But I still wonder at very small small things or occurrences. I see that the more I am gaining in Age, the more bewildered I am.
O' GOD.
A Prayer for Peace, Growth, and Recovery
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred...let me sow love.
Where there is injury...pardon.
Where there is doubt...faith.
Where there is despair...hope.
Where there is darkness...light
Where there is sadness...joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled...as to console.
To be understood...as to understand.
To be loved...as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Where there is hatred...let me sow love.
Where there is injury...pardon.
Where there is doubt...faith.
Where there is despair...hope.
Where there is darkness...light
Where there is sadness...joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled...as to console.
To be understood...as to understand.
To be loved...as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
(St. Francis of Assissi)
