Love thy neighbor as thyself, but choose your neighbor.
Louise Beal
In our program, we learn a lot about loving ourselves. Then we start to see how this helps us love our neighbors. We learn to love ourselves honestly, seeing our strengths and our weaknesses. We learn to see others honestly. We learn how much to trust ourselves and when to get extra help. We learn how much to trust others too. We learn to love ourselves with a love that’s honest and challenging. We learn to love others this way too. We learn to care about others without losing our common sense. We learn to protect our spirits from harm.
Prayer for the Day :
Higher Power, help me see others clearly. Help me love them. But help me choose carefully who I trust.
Action for the Day:
Today, I’ll list three people I trust the most, and I’ll write down why.
