Powerlessness and Poverty

Quote for the Day - "May all your expectations be frustrated.  May all your plans be thwarted.  May all your desires be withered into nothingness.  That you might experience the powerlessness and poverty of a child and sing and dance in the love of God the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."  (Blessing given to Henri Nouwen by his spiritual mentor)
