A Blessing

In the movie, "The Hunger Games" there is a blessing from a godless society. It goes like this: "May the odds be ever in your favor." Life for them is a matter of fate. There is no caring God. There is a little hope that the odds will favor you. Someone does have to win the games. You hope you will live, which means everyone else will be killed. In religious Belief there are so many beautiful blessings. We pray for good things for all of us. "May the wind be ever at your back." "May the face of God shine upon you." In the secular world, belief may seem odd, but it is never about odds, or chance or fate. It is really about love and the belief that there is plenty enough of it for all of us.
