We all must lean on each other because this is part of loving one's neighbor and Family of Love!

Good Evening Family of Love!

I hope you all had a good day and that you remembered it was and is You Matter Monday. It is not easy sometimes thinking that you don't matter. Today I have been celebrating my 55th birthday and finding out many things I learned  today that we truly are the Family of Love and that we all need each other. So we all need to stop being divisive and start leaning on each other for help, companionship, love, and caring for one another.  Another reason we all must learn to lean on each other is this, it is because this is part of loving one's neighbor and our Family of Love. What are we going to do to make this happen? I think a good place to start is by asking ourselves : How do we go about loving our neighbor and what does this look like? Here is my list and you will get the drift of how this is supposed to look. Here is tonight's music for meditation: The Best of Einaudi

How do we do this?

We rid ourselves of unnecessary labels.
We rid ourselves of or potential divisiveness 
We rid ourselves of hate
We rid ourselves of the need to one up each other
We rid ourselves of  unjust thoughts and actions
We rid ourselves of all harmful thoughts and prejudices
We rid ourselves of misconceptions.
We rid  ourselves of the many ways in which we seek to destroy each other 

Then what must we do?

We see each other as God's beautifully and unique child of  God made in God's image and likeness.
We see to strive to be united with God and each other.
We put on the garment of love and love one another 
We level the playing field and see each other as equals.
We sew seeds of justice, love, mercy, and peace.
We place in our minds thoughts of hope, joy, love, peace, and compassion.
We learn about one another and draw upon each other's strengths and courage.
We sew seeds of love and rely upon each other as family members and neighbors.
We must seek to love all humanity, living things, and care for God's Cathedral of  living, loving, moving, and being.

+++++

God we pray that we may lean upon one another and find perfect love and solace with all of our family members.

God we pray that we may finally take away all labels that divide us. 

God we pray that we may sew seeds of love not hate.

God we pray that we may see each other as equals and know that in your Kingdom we all get in and know this because of Jesus' saving action upon the cross.

God we pray that we may help promote peace and respect everyone's dignity.

God may we place our minds in the paths of right thinking .

God may we learn and lean on one another so that we may see our similarities not differences.

God may we draw upon each other's strengths and courage and be a soft place in which to fall.

God may we rely upon one another and not treat each other as invisible.

God  may we  strive to love one another and all of your animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms.

God may we with you sew seeds of love, mercy , and justice.

God we pray for ourselves and all of our family members who have requested our prayers, thanksgivings, remembrances, and celebrations especially__________________

Jesus who called us to be friends ,may we be united one to another and lay these our prayers at your feet and loving arms and in your most Holy Name. Amen.
