Lord, I have chosen to make my home away from home and to learn from my brothers and sisters as well as to serve them. I have spread the Good News; I have loved them. I have heard your voice from the prophet Micah, "This is what Yahweh asks of you: only this, to act justly, to love tenderly and to walk humbly with your God." ~Micah 6:8
