There are two women in the town where I live who are each facing the very real possibility of losing their homes.

Both women are single mothers. Both women work hard, six days a week, to support, and provide for their families.

Through no fault of their own, their homes may be taken from them. These women did everything right throughout the course of their lives, sacrificing, saving, to build their homes, and now due to unforeseen circumstances and events, they each may lose in one single day what it has taken an adult lifetime to create.

Miracles happen everyday, throughout the day, whether we are aware of them or not.

Some miracles happen for us. We are grateful, jubilant. Some miracles occur for the good of others around us. We are no less grateful, no less jubilant.

We can choose to be an active part of those miraculous events. We can choose to participate in God.

Please, dear reader, wherever you are, whatever you happen to be doing, I would ask a simple favor. Would you pause a moment in silent prayer for the two women today?

Please pray that by any and all Divinely inspired providence, both women may yet keep their homes, and may also succeed in keeping their families intact.

No matter where we are in the world as we read these words, when people unite in those humble, thoughtful, silent pauses, we form a community in prayer. There is great power in this.

The unselfish love of Other can make even the most withered Tree bloom!

Today, should you meet a mother, or father, burdened under the weight of Hardship, or if while on your Life's path, should you come across a homeless person, who may be feeling hopeless and alone, if at all, in anyway, you can help, either by thought or deed, please do, kind friend.

Expect nothing in return, except the joy of the possibility that on this present day, at this given moment, God may have used you to be His Hands, His Eyes, His Voice, His Heart, and ultimately, His Love.

Thank you, dear reader, and may you be blessed a hundredfold for the Good that you continue to do, and have done, in this, our world.

Peace.
