[MajestyJo]

I can think of times
when others have let me down.

I remember when I have let others down.

I can think of times
when people expected too much of me.

I remember
when I haven’t expected enough
of myself.

I can think of times
when I haven’t felt appreciated.

I remember when I haven’t praised others
for the good use of their talents.

And so we pray:

May we learn
to value and appreciate one another,
bringing out the best
in those around us.
May what is not good
die within us,
and may we bring life to all we meet.
Amen.
