The power of love

This is a quote from Mary Jo Leddy's book Radical Gratitude. In the chapter called 'Creative Power' she is writing also about the implications for each of us when we feel powerless.

' For want of a sense of power, the dream of something new and someone different dies. When we don't believe we can make any difference, some small part of God's dream for the world dies.' *

Sadly, I did not take this photo. It is of Jean Vanier and Dolores Szarfinski

I think it is important to know wherein our power lies. We may not be able to control all the circumstances that confront us, but we have the power to choose how to react. Once we have found this power, we can share it to help others deal with less than optimal circumstances.
