My Holiday Prayers

The other day, one of my FB friends had something up that, boiled down, read like this:

“My holiday prayer: I hope those who need cures will get them, for those children awaiting adoption to be adopted, then loved deeply, and for everyone else to never have to worry about food, shelter or heat. Amen.”

I’d also like to add that dogs, cats, and other innocent animals are always in my prayers — I hope they find good homes where they’ll be appreciated and loved, during the holidays and all the days after.

Another good saying: may your days be free of care, and may your life be as long, and as happy, as you wish it to be. (That’s adapted from an old Irish saying.)

In other words, though the holidays are always problematic for me at best, I wish my friends, family and colleagues the best, during the holidays, and all the other days, too.
