For the woman distracted in her car by the search for something lost at the bottom of her purse;
For the octogenarian creating order to his days with the routine of reading the morning paper at a coffee shop;
For the friend whose spirit is pacing in anxious anticipation, while somewhere tests are run on a biopsy;
For the gaggle of retired colleagues remembering stories together, fondly recalling their bygone professional clout;
For the mother crafting a holiday experience to satisfy all of her children when they return home in a fleeting whirl;
For the salesperson meeting frenzy with grace, frustration with creativity, without betraying his hopes for commission;
For the people I see daily; for their life journeys, their stresses and cares; O God, I ask your loving kindness and peace.
