Thank you God for this new day. Let me be aware and respond to the needs of those around me. May I encourage those I encounter by my actions. We are once again struggling with the pandemic that seems to be unending. Please protect those who are called to work in high risk environments and are exhausted by the pervasiveness of this virus. May we do all we can to protect others as the current variant spreads so that we can limit its effect. Give strength to those who are being asked to carry so much of the load of treatment in this time. May your presence be felt by all of us as we work through this and everyday of our journey. Amen
