I'll always remember the time my father turned to me with tears in his eyes and told me
that the greatest gift I had given him was teaching my children to pray.
- Pauletta Washington
When I think about all the people who have enriched my life, I feel a great desire to bless and honor them, and I can - in my prayers for each and every one of them.
I give thanks to God for my dear ones. I honor them for all that they are and all that they do. Most of all, I appreciate my loved ones for being unique and wonderful expressions of God's sacred spirit.
I picture my loved ones glowing with the light of God, radiating love and joy to all who are willing to receive. I give thanks for the wonderful, positive influence both friends and family alike have been for me. I love them and honor them for the sacred beings they are.
I honor God when I honor my loved ones as sacred beings.
