December The Seventeenth

TRULY we often ask too much of those we love. We want their time, their work, their commitment to our causes and needs. We don't stop to put ourselves in their place and ask exactly how much we are asking of them. The sharp word, the tone in a voice that breaks off little pieces of our hearts. Add all this to the burdens of everyday life and it sometimes becomes too much. Give us strength, Lord - Amen
