A Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

I live by this. I read and reflect on this everyday. It reminds me that there are bigger problems in the world and that love conquers all. 

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light, and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved, as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive-

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

I am having a very reflective day and keep coming back to the words in this prayer. I hope you find peace in your day :) Thank you for everything, always...

Thankfully Yours, 

Ashlee
