Connecting with each other and finding common ground.





Good Evening Dear Family of Love!

I hope everyone had a good day! It is truly amazing the response from this week's blogs and readership. I give thanks to God for you and your ongoing support. Last evening we talked about the Arts as a way to find and connect with God Tonight how do we connect with each other when we seem to have little common ground? This isn't an easy question to answer because there is always something to get in the way of finding common ground. I'm about to give you my plan or suggestions to help us find common ground and connect with one another.

First: make a list of things that we all have in  common.
What makes us the same?
Pray.look to see God in the eyes of all, love, and embrace our family members

Second: leave that list on the table for meditation.
Pray, look, to see God in the eyes of all, love, and embrace our family members.

Third: What are the things, concerns, and situations that divide us? Make another list.
Pray Look, at yourself , do you see God in your own eyes? let go of all negatives and let God heal all of us from these things.

Fourth: Look at that list and take them off the table and place them in our Worry/ Sabbath Box.
Pray, Look, at yourself , do you see God in your own eyes? Let Go, and be free to look  with love and be with our family members.

Fifth: Keep repeating all the prior steps until all we do are steps one and two and remember to Love God, Neighbor/ Family Member and ourselves. 

Let us meditate on the above.Listen to this from 

Candide - We Make Our Garden Grow - Bernstein 

and 

The Promise of Living - Copeland!


Now let us pray for peace and unity among all people and nations! 

God who made us and makes us one we pray for unity among all people and nations
May we be one and love one another.

God who made us and makes us one lead us to put away all hindrances that divide us
May we be one and love one another

God who made us and makes us one give us  the courage to see you in the eyes of all who are our enemies and wish us harm.
May we be one and love one another.

God who made us and makes us one we pray for all who are ill in body, mind, and spirit. Heal them and make them whole and may we lovingly respond to their needs.
May we be one and love one another.

God who made us and makes us one we pray for the protection of those who are protesting using peaceful non-violence.
May we be one and love one another.

God who made us and makes us one we pray for the protection of all our most vulnerable family members. Help us to ourselves and you in their eyes and love them as you have taught us and to serve them as you have taught us to serve.
May we be one and love one another.

God who made us and makes us one. we give thanks for all those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries this day.

God who made us and makes us one may we be with those who are pre-grieving and mourning any loss.

God who made us and makes us one we pray for all who are dying and have died may they find loving, joy, and oneness with you in the Thin Places.

God who made us and makes us one we offer these our prayers and thanksgivings in the most Holy Name of your Son Jesus. May we be one and love one another. Amen.

I received word moments ago: I have sad news from Kristin Wetstine Chadwick about our beloved little Sopha " Pls pray4 precious Sophia's family. She earned her angles wings this AM. I'll be traveling2 Oregon sometime this next wk." May God grant her family comfort and may they feel God's loving presence surrounding them at the sad time. May Baby Sophia Rest In Peace and Rise in Glory.

++++++

Today's wish: Connect with all that is good and holy in every person you meet. Love boldly and fearlessly! I love you!


++++++++

Good Night Dear Family! I love you! May you all rest gentile in Gods arms tonight. Don't forget to place all your worries, fears, anxieties, angers, and anything else that is preventing you from being connected to God in the Worry/ Sabbath Box. 

With Love and unity,

Sara
