People spend a lot of time and energy emphasizing how we are all different and then we allow our differences to define our relationships...a sad commentary of contemporary society. Okay, let's talk about those differences. Oh, some folks tall / some short...some are skinny others are not...we have female / male...and goodness gracious those endless religious differences. When it comes to those colors...there is >hair / skin / eyes...and of course hair texture & length. Can anyone imagine our different experiences and education. Oh my, we are different.
Now, with due acknowledgement of our differences may I offer profound likenesses, which should override those differences and make us truly brothers and sisters in this journey labeled life. We all dream of greatness. We all hope for love ones. We all face pain and uncertainties. We all deal with relationship issues, sickness and financial problems. And Yes, we all are called upon to say our goodbyes to family and friends.
Some things that we must all endure are beyond our control, however we all have an opportunity to choose doing good or doing bad. And so it goes and so it is...shall we choose to celebrate 'us' and our shared likenesses or will we point to those differences while 'pretending' to be a child of God.
