BLESSING OF THE DAY - May you be blessed by the God who knows you and loves you when you feel separated and excluded from your surroundings and overlooked by those around you. May you honor the truth of your own being and be willing to stand in it…even when you must stand alone. As you search for the "truth within you," may you discover "God within you" and know them to be one and the same and that you are never really alone. May the God of Honor bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
