BLESSING OF THE DAY - May God be with you and bless you when you are feeling puny and inadequate, when your energy and resources are spent. At those times may you know God breathing life into all that you say and do, and may God's spirit speak through you with amplified resonance to those around you. For it is not you but God in you who prays and moves and has being. May the God of Empowerment bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
