Prayer....As Part of Living, Hosted by Oiseau

I often receive lovely motivational words from well-meaning friends, uplifting words, encouraging words and file them under the heading "Prayer" in the e-mail folder. It struck me recently how selfish that is as a practice. Prayer should be shared, a choir of voices is more effective than a single voice.

How many people are in need of this solace? I suspect many and if they were stored here rather than in our personal vaults everyone could come here with their treasures and post them. I see quite a few around! Wouldn't it be nice to have one place for them? I hope you all agree and participate!

Thank you.
