...heartprints

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you."Ephesians 4:32 

"He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God."Proverbs 14:31

"That best portion of a good man's life; his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love." william wordsworth

The following well-known anonymous poem is well worth a reminder:

    "Whatever our hands touch –

    We leave fingerprints!

    On walls, on furniture

    On doorknobs, dishes, books.

    There's no escape.

    As we touch we leave our identity."

Today's prayer:

    'Wherever I go today

    Help me leave heartprints!

    Heartprints of compassion

    Of understanding and love.

    'Heartprints of kindness

    And genuine concern.

    May my heart touch a lonely neighbor

    Or a runaway daughter

    Or an anxious mother

    Or perhaps an aged grandfather.

    'Send me out today

    To leave heartprints.

    And if someone should say,

    "I felt your touch,"

    May they also sense the love

    that is deep within my heart.'author unknown

"Thank you God for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."
