| When it is the custom to ask forgiveness from any we may have
offended.
It is a time to bring sweetness into our hearts, the season of forgiveness and
new beginnings.
During the last year, we have seen each other at our best and worst. Through
celebrations and mourning, we stood together, as companions and witnesses.
As we view our relationships, let us ask not if we were wrong, but only if we
have given offense. Perhaps our actions were reasonable and our intentions good,
but we have caused pain, however inadvertently.
Now is the hour for faith and a gentle spirit. Let go of the guilt and grudges.
Ask and grant the pardon we seek from G-d.
If I have harmed anyone, please forgive me. It is my prayer that we face our New
Year together in peace. May the words written of us in the book of life be kind
ones.
Bless You All
The Gift
Once in a while, often at the time when
You need them, there will be a gentle soul.
Perhaps, you will feel a little low. Then
One of them will glance your way, and the whole
World will look just a tiny bit more kind.
It may be difficult to place
What is different around you, to find
A reason why your mind will cease to race
Ahead, and you will take the time to smile.
After that moment, you may go away,
And never know why things seem nicer while,
You do the business of your life that day.
The truth is that somebody tried to start
A better world, by opening their heart |
