Prayer for the day

One of my very favorite prayers, too.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy 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;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O 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,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

Spin the prayer wheel.

*sigh* No school here tomorrow, either.

Just got the e-mail. School canceled tomorrow, too.

I don't know why, as the roads are actually much better today, with slick spots, but I'm guessing they are concerned it will thaw and refreeze overnight (which it likely will) and leave the streets too dangerous for travel.

So instead of working a full week, I'm maybe working two days. Blargh.
