Faith to SEE…
but what matters is that we
see the best in others, too!
Faith to FEEL…
as well as their joy and gratitude
Faith to DO…
and love to one another!
Faith to LIVE…
sow love!
We Need Faith
Words by John Thornburg
We need a faith so color blind,
So free from time-worn lies,
That when we look from face to face,
We see the eyes of God.
We need an ethic of respect,
An honest pledge of trust,
That when we share the deepest things,
We feel the warmth of God.
We need to act as well as speak,
To see each other’s sweat,
That as we we labor side by side,
We do the work of God.
Come, Christians, look for character,
And not for shade of skin,
That as we rend the walls of race,
We live the peace of God.
In the YouTube video below, hang in there through the introduction to the song, and then let the words, the music, the interaction of the performers, and the joy of the audience and children LIFT YOU UP… “Raise you up to more than you can be!”
With FAITH and God’s help,
we CAN and we will
be part of the healing solution
for this divided world.
We WILL be part of the change
we hope to see in our world.
We PLEDGE to be agents of UNITY!
All you need is LOVE, FAITH, and DETERMINATION to
see the eyes of God,
feel the warmth of God,
do the work of God, and
live the peace of God.
Together, we can be the change we wish to see in the world.
Let’s get to work!

So true Jan, and thank you dear friend!
Amen!
Love love that first pic, too cute.
That picture of the cat looking in the mirror really resonates with me. The reverse is my experience – I have been told I can be very scary.
Ah how interesting to see yourself as a kitten while others see a lion! I have friends like that. They look like a big ole bear, but they’re soft and fuzzy inside. It’s a joy to get to know those kinds of people.

A truly sincere post, Jan, and so inspiring. Thank you! x
