20/03/2020;
This day is the perfect opportunity to think of what brings you happiness! Our priorities may well have re-aligned because of the COVID-19 pandemic so it's good to reflect on what causes us to be happy and to give thanks - nurturing those people and things - but I'm guessing mainly people!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Loving God,
we give thanks for those who bring us happiness.
We ask your blessings upon them.
Help us to bring happiness to others
by giving them the dignity of being loved
and appreciated for who they are.
Give us wisdom to notice those who are sad
and the right words and gestures to support them.
We ask this in your holy name. AMEN
