Loving One Another

Posts tagged ‘uniqueness’

All One People


All the same stardust –
Part of this vast Pale Blue Dot.
Must work together.

Nationalism
Must give way to unity;
We’re all one people!

Embrace uniqueness
While celebrating sameness.
Live in harmony.

Only when we know
The importance of Oneness
Will we heal our earth.

You’re my bro or sis;
I am your sister-in-love.
So, let’s get along!

Let’s cooperate
With God who wants only good.
We’re all One People!

I want to show you
How much I love our Oneness.
What can I do – huh?

We’re in this salad,
Each adding our own color –
Creating beauty.

It would be boring
If we were all just the same.
Thanks for being YOU!

De’s smile

They’re universal:
Kindness and a Happy Smile –
So just smile and love!

Can’t keep us from spreading smiles.
They’re MORE contagious!

Be Different!


Sometimes being odd,
Being the one who’s different,
Is so very hard.

We are often birds –
Birds of a feather who flock
Together as one.

We have such trouble
Being the one who’s left out.
It takes bravery!

But we are called now
To be safe and be unique.
Follow the orders.

When others refuse
And head for the beach or bar,
You just stay at home.

Be Mona Lisa –
Hunkering down in your house –
Safe from the others.

Free from suffering,
Value human connection,
But, just limit it!!

I love that baby!
His expression is priceless.
Does he mirror you?

Stay at home, you say?
I’m stuck here with my grandma?
When will all this end?

Pray with me:

No one knows for sure
When darkness will turn to light.
But yes, it will come.

Meantime, hang in there!
Pray, hope, and reach out in love.
Spread kindness and peace.

Bee well!
Bee safe!
Bee different!

Thanks for visiting JanBeek.
Tell me how you’re doing.
Is everything okay with you and your family?
See ya tomorrow.

Be Like a Tree


Be Like a Tree

Be Like a Tree

Today is Wordless Wednesday,
but I could not help myself.
I saw this and decided
it is too good to keep to myself.

I can “Be Like a Tree”
while I remain “wordless.”

Keep Growing, dear friends.

Goodbye August

Keep Facing the Son!

Sermon notes
from message based on
John 17:20-26
“That They May Be One.”


Jesus prayed for Oneness
For each divided sect.
As He is One with God,
He prayed we will show respect.

.
The ways in which we
Polarize ourselves here
Is tiring. It saddens me.
It brings no one cheer.
.
All people are more similar
Than different from each other.
We establish boundaries
To separate from our brothers.
.
We do it to prove that
We are right and we’re accepted.
We name others as losers
And place them outside  –  rejected.
.
Jesus prayed that we would just
Love One another – differences and all.
He prayed for our Oneness.
Honor uniqueness; stand tall!
.
Oneness is not about eliminating
The differences we see.
It’s about loving our uniqueness.
Love your neighbor, even your enemy!
.
It is about Oneness with God;
It’s a boundary-less love.
It’s only possible with help
From the Divine Source above.
.
If we call ourselves Christian,
We must stop bickering and be
The loving children our Creator intended.
Love differences;  love even me!

.
Be one with all.
In Christ’s Love we Pray,
Amen.

One-of-a-Kind Gem


One-of-a-Kind Gem

If I measure me against me,

I could be six foot three.

If I measure me against YOU,

I’m not even two foot two!

So, who do I use?

What feet do I choose?

Who carries my blues?

Who walks in my shoes?

“No one,” You say?

God took His soft clay

And molded a shape –

Unique! Full of play!

God gifted your soul

Full of treasure untold.

Then He threw out the mold.

You’re more precious than gold.

Who do I measure myself against then?

Do I look at my friends, compare me with them?

“No one,” God smiles.  “I’ll say it again,

You’re a unique,  one-of-a-kind gem!”
