God always drops something in my lap - just when I need to 'hear' it. This is a reinterpretation of a 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 the 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 from pain, rejection, and starvation, 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 this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.”

What a neat perspective. I think I will write this out and tape it somewhere so I can see it frequently. Thanks, Deea!
