Prayer:

I pray that our eyes may be open

To be one another’s keeper

To look out for the children of the world

Offer a kind word, a book, an encouragement

I pray that we may teach our kids to hope

To be kind, to love, to stand against injustice

And may we take time to accept what children offer us

The magic of hope and love

Amen
