A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, September 23rd

Good Morning, God
Lord, we don't understand why people are put together differently from each other, but in most cases, "Viva La Difference!"  However, sometimes our hearts are touched, especially by children, when they appear to "not be like an average kid", and sometimes, Lord, we are less than kind toward these boys and girls.
Thankfully, Lord, you have gifted some folks with special, tender hearts that reach out in love toward these children.  You give a special measure of understanding, patience and imagination.  You enable these teachers and mentors to bring joy to these children despite whatever handicap these children have.
Lord, especially today, we want to give thanks for the T-O-P-Soccer program.  The TOP Soccer program, the leaders and all the volunteers who are making it possible for people, especially children with mental and physical handicaps, to experience the joy of playing soccer - just like anybody else.
In Jesus name, Amen
