PRAYER FOR CYNICS

“The beauty found in little children's eyes, in roses, orchids, daffodils, and pinks – such Beauties faithful, grateful people prize – God's gifts, no matter what the cynic thinks. Dear Lord, please bless all cynics everywhere, and grant them grace wherever they may go. Please, help believers show them loving care, so some of Jesus' love they'll get ta know. And please help Me especially, today, that I may grow in understanding, Lord. May loving-kindness be what I display; may I all kindness shown ta Me reward! Please, and thank you!”
