I climbed up a tree.
Just one bird was welcoming.
Truly a great start!

One shall prepare the land,
another plants the seed.
More workers pull the weeds.
But only God can send the rain
which makes the harvest grow!

If
Peace and passion
Do not travel hand in hand
All growth,
Perhaps even life itself
Comes to a halt.

OUR DIFFERENCES WERE IN HIS PLAN!
God created us in His image yet each different in his and her own way. But we’re forever at war with one another over the discord we see and hear. We refuse to see His face in others and further refuse to see and hear all that can be created when we blend together!
LET’S START A NEW TRADITION!
THE ONE HE INTENDED ALL ALONG!-

I ran fast,
I was so focused on the task at hand,
I caught the ball.
Oh, what a relief.
The challenger came so quickly,
and I was overwhelmed.
I dropped the ball.
I am crushed.
I am down.
I feel defeated.
But,
the game isn’t over
unless I stay down.
I rise again,
dust myself off.
Pushing aside the voice of distraction,
I focus on you
and the game goes on.

It is refreshing to see upbeat and positive words spoken on the differences among us. We were given different gifts by the same giver. This was God’s design and it is perfect!

I know there is strength in the differences between us. I know there is comfort, where we overlap.
