World Prayer Day - Sept. 10

Thinking of World Prayer Day starting in less than an hour. Thoughts turn to Mother Teresa and one of her classic quotes:

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

Looking forward to going to Interfaith Prayer Service at my friend Mary's Unity Church in Lynnwood, WA. There is something powerful and magical about group prayer and contemplation. I love the enfolding positive atmosphere I have found in all Unity congregations.
