A prayer

I found this on Brandi's Living Freely blog. I wanted to share it with you. Merry Christmas!

Franciscan Blessing

May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and wars so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in the world so that you can do what others claim cannot be done

to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.

Hi, Ami! Great to "meet" you. What are you requesting? boy? girl? age? number of children? I can't wait to read more and get to know you. Feel free to call or email ANYTIME if you have questions, want to talk or anything. This part of the process is SO hard!

Speaking of those of us with Liberia at our hearts. . check out the blog I JUST posted! haha I've been wanting to do this for a year already!
