Words can hurt.Or they can heal.The can console.They can motivate, empower, and spur people to action.And they have the power to deliver peace to busy souls.Sometimes it only takes a few words like "So what?"Or "Cowboy up."Other times, when words are carefully chosen and properly placed, they can have an impact like your favorite book.This is a reading of a personal reflection written in 1927 by poet and lawyer Max Ehrmann called Desiderata – which means something needed or desired or longed for.I first read it probably 30 years ago. Like Bible verses that just stick with you, so much of what Erhmann wrote has endured.I hope you find as much peace and consolation as I have.Support the showGet my book "God Cares.
