milkmanMy friends, -- Our chalice lighting for today:
Today we gather together in the spirit of love and truth. As we light the chalice, let us remember the things that can sometimes be easily overlooked.
We remember the quiet acts of kindness, the unspoken words of support that ripple outward in ways we may never know.
We honor the small courage it takes to stand up for what is right, even when it feels insignificant.
We remember the beauty in the ordinary, the wonder in the everyday.
We celebrate the quiet strength that resides within each of us, waiting to be discovered.
Let it be so. Amen.
