Simple Faith: Believe in the power of prayer

If we could see the glimmering graces that soar into life on butterfly wings If we could see how they’re carried naturally on gentle breezes to hearts in need If we could see the way souls open up to receive the beautiful Truth about Love… We would stop wondering why God doesn’t give us more important jobs.
