Dear Friends,
Very often I am asked and/or in a discussion about what we can do in these divisive times.  At a San Dieguito Interfaith Ministers Association, Rev. Karen Koblentz read the words of Audrey Pary.
“As the world fights to figure everything out, I’ll be holding doors for strangers, letting people cut in front of me in traffic, saying good morning, keeping babies entertained in grocery lines, stopping to talk to someone who is lonely, being patient with sales clerks, smiling at a passerby. Why?
Because I will not stand idly by and live in a world where love is invisible.
Join me in showing kindness, understanding, and judging less. Be kind to a stranger, give grace to friends who are having a bad day, be forgiving of yourself -today and every day.
BE the change, BE the light, start today and never stop”
What a wonderful way to move through your day. Be aware of those around you, say a kind word, do a kind deed.  One never knows how gigantic the ripple effect will be.
Kindly,
Abigail and Steve
