Weekly Thoughts

Here is an appropriate prayer, "Lord, keep me from the habit of thinking that I must say something on every occasion. Release me from the craving to straighten out other people's affairs. Keep my mind free from endless detail; give me wings to get to the point. Give me grace to listen to the recital of others' tribulations. Seal my lips against my own aches and pains."

Thoughts by the late Rev. Paul Osumi are selected weekly by his family.
