Someone prayed, "Oh, God, help us to love one another. We often are busier than we have a right to be, and the result is that we have so little time left for each other. Day after day we miss opportunities for sharing the smiles and tears of life. Help us to take time for the one thing that makes life worth living: the love that transforms life into a thing of beauty."
