BLESSING OF THE DAY - May you be especially blessed by God in times of loss. In your letting go of the past, a relationship, health, youth, or any loss, may you take the time to remember and to reflect on how the object of your loss has gifted you and what has been awakened in you as a result of its presence in your life. Then may yours be a grateful goodbye to what was, so that you may say a gracious hello to the "more" that God holds out to you. May the God of Awakening bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
