Prayer for Today

GRANDFATHER'S PRAYER FOR TODAY.
My Creator, I pray today for the security, peace, and happiness in my home and in the community where I live.
TO THE COMMUNITY
Communities should provide many things for the family. The most important is the sense of belonging; that is, to belong to "the people", and to have a place to go. Our communities need to be restored to health so the future generation will be guaranteed a place to go for culture, language and socializing In the community, the honour of one is the honour of all and the pain of one is the pain of all. We must work to strengthen recovery in all parts of our communities, wherever we are living.
As concerned human beings we should make an effort to give back to our community by donating our time and talents when we are able.
We should cultivate friendships with others for mutual support and strength.
We must consider the effects of our decisions on behalf of the next seven generations; in this way, our children and grandchildren will inherit healthy communities.
We should care about those in our community so that the mind changers, alcohol and drugs, will vanish, and our communities will forever be free of violence. If each of us can do all these things, then others will follow; ours will be a proud community.

Have you smiled at your neighbour recently?
