We have a lot in common

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5 v 22-23

Sometimes cartoon characters make a lot of sense. For instance, this little beauty from Meowth a Pokemon character:

We do have a lot in common, the same earth, the same air, the same sky. Maybe if we started looking at what’s the same instead of always looking at what’s different…. well, who knows!

Meowth, Pokemon

I have added the Bible’s take on this. We all need love and we can give love. We all need joy and we can give joy… keep going with the words above. God’s qualification for anything does not include the words and you need to be white or a man or heterosexual. God invites all to join him in his party in heaven and it is going to be such a wonderful party. I think we are going to be surprised at who is there!

God of morning and rising sun,
with breaking dawn the beauty
of your creativity
is revealed for all to see.
And we shall sing your praise.

God of noontime and gentle rain,
you bring to us refreshment
on our daily journeying,
and the strength to persevere.
And we shall sing your praise.

God of evening and setting sun,
you send us out in faith
and bring us safely home again,
such is your love and grace.
And we shall sing your praise.

Now may the hand of God go with us
on our journeying today,
the love of God surround us
as we venture on our way,
the Spirit of God be present
in everything we say
and God’s blessing be the gift
that we freely give away.
