Today's readings focus on anger and forgiveness and how to respond and react in humility and love. I thought this poem would be a wonderful way to begin your knitting this week.
               Dwell on the Gladness

Life is too short to dwell on my sorrows
to harbor my grudges in bitter tomorrows
Life is too short to dwell on my pain
to play and replay some vengeful refrain
Life is too sweet to waste precious minutes
in nursing resentment, self-righteousness in it
Then, let me not dwell on life's sorrow and sadness
Oh Lord, let me think of life's blessings, with gladness.
