We all have challenges, some with health, work, love, family, and friends. We all need to have hope and faith that things will improve and be better. Once we lose hope and faith, our attitude will take us down, we will give up and eventually lose. If you see someone who is down, help instill hope and faith with your encouragement and understanding. You can be a beacon of hope to them and share a better picture of what will be. Have a great day, and be an inspiration to many today. God loves you and so do many others.

Prayer:

Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, 
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; 
to be understood as to understand; 
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive; 
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; 
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

"Cogito ergo sum"
