Credo

More from Forrest Church:

The courage to bear up under pain
The grace to take our successes lightly
The liberation that comes with forgiveness
The energy to address tasks that await our doing
The joy to be gained even in the smallest endeavor
The meaning to be found in giving ourselves to others
The patience to surmount things that are dragging us down
The wonder that lies between the sacred moments of our birth and death

I call this thoughtful wishing -- wishing for what is ours, here and now, to have, do, and be.

Neat.
