Good Morning, God
The headlines on some calendars are that this is “World Community Day”. Nowhere are we seeing this illustrated and acted out as we do in the Northeast. We prayed on Wednesday for your strength and wisdom to be with all who are aiding in the recovery effort.
But, elsewhere today, Lord, there are untold numbers of men and women whose companies have set this day aside to encourage them to do something good for someone or some organization in their community.
Perhaps a team of junior high and senior high students is raking leaves from yards of senior citizens. Perhaps more people than usual are donating blood, plasma or platelets today. Perhaps a team is helping to build a Habitat for Humanity house. Perhaps teams are visiting in hospitals and retirement care and rehabilitation centers, bringing kind words, a gentle touch or cheerful programs.
Lord God, we each have about ten to twelve hours today to do something good for our community. Show us what needs to be done . . . . . and we will do it because we care.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
