(Candace #15) – I ran across this gem the other day. It was written by the Rev. Frederick Brotherton Meyer, who was born in 1847.
“Forgive us if this day we have done or said anything to increase the pain of the world. Pardon the unkind word, the impatient gesture, the hard and selfish deed, the failure to show sympathy and kindly help where we had the opportunity, but missed it; and enable us so to live that we may daily do something to lessen the tide of human sorrow, and add to the sum of human happiness.”
Thanks for the word gift, Candace. That’s lovely.
