a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and

in the midst of a holiday bustle.
If you are attentive,
you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

best for each of us individually,

in ourselves, our family, and our friends.

and ultimate wisdom to be the true test of faith.
