After work today, when I clicked on the Daily post and saw that the Prompt was to write a post using the word Divide, I headed outside. I wanted to park myself in my chair and enjoy this already spring-like SW FL weather and meditate on the topic and see what transpired…..
In this season of political uncertainty, amidst the myriad major issues facing not just our beloved United States, but the entire world, can we just stop for a minute?
Can we take a moment to remove our focus from the voices telling us the numerous reasons we should be divided and instead remember all that we have in common? Social media and the news media are ripe with ideas on how to tear each other apart, but who says we have to buy into the hate and the drama?
We are all humans; we have a heart, mind, body and soul, with warm rich blood flowing through our veins. We all have feelings, even though we may express them differently. We were all created in the image of God, our Divine Creator.
Let’s love one another. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
This may seem a little too maudlin for some, but it’s what’s on my heart. Peace.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. I Corinthians 13:4-8
Long walks and dark chocolate 
I love it! One of my favorites! Only the love of Christ can cause us to see it in that way.
