A CREED TO LIVE BY
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love,
the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams to be be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,
but also where your'e going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.

HEALING

A Healing Prayer as we celebrate Refugee Week
Lord, No one is a stranger to you, and no one is ever far from your loving care In your kindness watch over refugees and asylum seekers, those separated from their loved ones, those who are lost, and those who have been exiled from their homes. Bring them safely to the place where they long to be and help us always to show your kindness to strangers and those in need. Amen
