Dear God:Today, the UN-declared International Day of Peace, I am thankful for ways to give peace a chance.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
~Seymour Miller & Jill Jackson, 1955, "Let There Be Peace on Earth"
It'll be a great day when education gets all the money it wants and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy bombers.
~Author unknown, cited in You Said a Mouthful, Ronald D. Fuchs (editor)
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
