BLESSING OF THE DAY - May God bless you in your discord, when instability invades your day and throws you into moments of uneasiness and agitation. May God catch you in those moments and carry you back to the center of your soul, the dwelling place of God, where calm and stillness live. May you know there the freedom of being known and loved unconditionally. May the God of Accord bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
