“How can we determine when the night ends and the day begins?”
“When you can look into the face of another human being, and you have enough light in you to recognize your brother or sister. Until then it is night, and darkness is still with us.”
--Hasidic tale
We need to accept that are all are made in God’s image, including ourselves. We each have an abundance of resources. We each have limitations, but we also have unique gifts and talents and endless capacity to learn. We need not try to be someone we are not. If we claim the gifts that are ours to claim, along own our limitations and our life experience, we can build upon these and count on grace.
