Dear God,

White paper dolls are simply that...white paper dolls but a string of red, brown, black, yellow and white make for something far more beautiful.  I couldn't help but notice many colors, nationalities, shapes, ages, and genders as we walked around the waterfront in Portland, Maine.  I thought how marvelous it really was.  People were speaking many languages as they oohed and aahed at the boats and ocean waters.

We forget we were made as diverse people.  We forget we were created to be unique and different.  We forget who made us.  We forget how many thoughts, beliefs and ideas can lead us to new perspectives, creative solutions and helpful ways to live life and solve problems.  We forget we are dependent upon one another.  We forget.

Open our eyes

to your

divine design,

Loving Creator.

Help us

find joy

in our diversity

and uniqueness.

Lead us

to new life,

we pray.

Yours, Andrea
