Thought for the day, Monday 8th July

“Open our eyes so we may recognise that of God in all those we meet..
Open our ears to hear other people’s life stories and, through hearing, understand them better..
Open our mouths to speak words of friendship and kindness to strangers..
Open our arms to help tear down the barriers of fear that divide one group from another..
Open our minds to think bigger, braver thoughts and go beyond our narrow prejudices..
Open our hearts so love may flow through us, creating this world as one community which rejoices in people’s diversity and encourages the inclusion of all.”

Sarah Tinker, Unitarian minister, quoted in Fragments of Holiness for Daily Reflection
