God, forgive me for when I lack empathy,
when I jump to making talking points out of tragedy,
when I forget the pain of community and family,
when my voice is louder than theirs.

How true! I haven’t known very many people who didn’t have some “handicap”, large or small. But some people seem to have a finger in a cast where others have their whole arm. Oh, to show more patience and kindness! And may I not use my own cast as an excuse to do nothing.
