Daily Word (9.14.09)

Back to School:

"I embrace new opportunities to learn and grow." (DW, 9.14.09)

"What you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well." (1Tim. 2:2)

Mei Meditatio:

Growth and transformation come largely through cultivating the attitude of openness to newness of experience. In order to more fully accept new opportunities it is first crucial to be able to let go of past, old, and un-useful memories and ideas. These can often obscure or get in the way of the growth that will help us lead more contented and health-ful lives in and through the grace of God in Christ.

I am receptive to the ever-changing process of growth in my life. I have a grateful attitude towards accepting new experiences and recognize opportunities to become a better person through the promotion of love, equality, and justice in relationships.

In the name and through the power of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. Amen.
