Cross Ornament

My Wife and I found this ornament and we really like the message on it.



Here is what it says:
"Lord make me an instrument of your peace where there is hatred,
let me sow love where there is injury,
pardon where there is doubt,
faith where there is despair,
where there is darkness, light
where there is sadness, joy
O divine master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life."

I think it is good to remember this as we come to the season of giving.
