If
We could all assume the best about each other.
If
We could all believe that people’s intentions are meant for good based on their scope of knowledge.
If
we could all respect and treat people the way we wish to be respected and treated.
If
we could focus more on our commonalities than our differences.
If
we could celebrate life for what it is instead of what it is not.
If
we could all focus on what needs improving in ourselves instead of others.
If…
maybe we could be beacons of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control in a dark world.
If
I, if you, if we…
what an impact on this world we might see!

One Nation Under God, Not a Woman or Man
Let there be peace in our great land and let it begin with me. Let love ignite every heart and shine for all to see. Let there be one race, with no divisive mutiny. May we all respect the multitude of opinions with quiet dignity. Let us pray for our country in committed unity. No eye has seen; no ear has heard the breadth of His love for you and me. We are all called to one thing, love one another as our God loves you, me and our neighbor, Republican, and Democrat, all three. Let the violence end, hatred cease, and peace and harmony reign free. I pledge allegiance to one nation under God, not a woman or man, and it is in He where my security will stand. Please, Father calm restless, weary souls and whisper in our ears until it flows from our heart’s, let there be peace and love on earth and let it begin with me. Amen.
One God, One People
I am a color, but my color does not define me.
I am born of a race, but I become who I choose to be.
God created me equal to all man so please respectfully acknowledge me.
I have a heart that beats just like yours. It sins and loves no matter what my ethnicity.
History holds a wealth of bondage from scars inflicted by ancestors, you and me.
The future does not have to reflect our wounds. The choice is for God’s people, no matter color, race, religion or gender to spread and live in harmony.
There are good and bad of every kind. Exclusive to no one; not yours or mine.
My birth branded me with many labels, but please don’t use them to judge me. I only wish to be known as the person who desires to reflect God in how I live, love and chose to be.
Kindness knows no boundaries in available hearts. It is immune to the prejudice or color, race or gender. It respects all, the receiver, and the lender.
We are all one. May our eyes be blind to any differences and our hearts be open to every kind. For it is in seeing, knowing and loving, many treasures we find.
Wear Love
Our jobs often become so routine that we become removed. Our schedules are often so unattended that we become unavailable. I am certain I have been guilty of this. I am also certain I have been injured by this. If we are blessed enough to be in positions to influence people’s lives, engage their pain and suffering, and make an impact for the better; may we never become complacent. What may seem common to us, is often very painful to those enduring it. May we never lose sight of empathy and consider every person just as valuable as the next. Logic says invest time and energy in those who are the most qualified. Love says invest in ALL; no qualifications!
