who have toiled to build and warm our homes, to
fashion our clothing, and to wrest from sea and land
the food that nourishes us and our children.
We pray you that they may have health and joy, and
hope and love, even as we desire for our loved ones.
Grant us wisdom to deal justly with every man and
woman whom we face in the business of life.
May we not unknowingly inflict suffering through
selfish indifference or the willful ignorance of a callous
heart ...
-Walter Rauschenbusch
I was driving through town tonight as the rescue squad was pulling out of the station on the way to a rescue ~ I looked into the faces of the two men in the truck and wondered what they were thinking. These men were on their way to help someone in need, possibly a life and death situation. They do this every day ... they are only a phone call away!
This is their work, this is their contribution to the village of people ... we all have a calling and a contribution that is uniquely our own.
What a reminder this is to me to say thank you to each and
everyONE ... we are all a necessary part of the whole ...
it takes a village ... Cate
