OXYGEN!
What
a necessity for life.
And
when we are without, we can only last a few seconds up to 4 minutes.
A
barely flickering flame needs oxygen. Sometimes
we call it nurturing the flame.

need oxygen too, and not just in the air we breathe. We need it in the form of a word of esteem
and a word of hope.
And
you and I hold that oxygen in our hands every day. With every person we meet, we can either say
words of hope and encouragement, or words of ill will.
Your
next wait person at the restaurant needs oxygen-like words of appreciation and
kindness. So does your mailman, your
grocery clerk, and your minister/priest/rabbi.
Even
your spouse and kids, especially your spouse and kids need to hear those
life-giving words for which they thirst
Will
you bring life to someone nearby today?
I
hope so.
And
may you receive in like manner in which you give
Be
well today.
