Since Thanksgiving is just around the corner, here is a Thanksgiving Prayer from Florence's journal. There was no date on this clipping. It's a simple prayer, but rich in meaning. I love the idea of praying for weakness and poverty, if it means strengthening our positive moral ground.
Heavenly Father: Do Thou help us to be forgetful of our selves and thoughtful of others.
--To be weak in carrying grudges and strong in bearing burdens.
--to be humble as we walk with Thee.
--and proud that we can serve Thee through devotion to thy Law of Justice, Kindness and Mercy.
--to be poor in Hatred, Envy and Prejudice.
--and Rich in Love, Friendship and Service. Amen
~Rabbi Harry Jolt
