I took this photo on Hummingbird Highway on the way to Dangriga. We were out sightseeing that day. It was our first weekend with the new car. It is hard to believe that a year has passed so quickly. I had Tom stop the car so I could snag this photo. He is used to me making requests like this and he pulled over long enough for me to get the shot. We work together like that...after 30 years together it just seems natural.
How important is unity?
Unity at home. Unity in neighborhoods. Unity in a country.
Does it really make a difference to the quality of our lives?
I think so. When God's people live in unity it is good and it is pleasant. It is part of His intention for us. We are to make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Jesus prayed for all believers to be brought to complete unity. Disharmony in a home or church is an oppression that prevents growth. The harmony of lives in unity with one another allows each member to thrive.
I want to see everyone thrive.
The people we see in the counseling office. Those we meet as we move about the city.
Our loved ones back in the states. Our friends back in Russia.
May every home be a place where unity flourishes
so that individuals are free to grow, thrive, and live as He intended.
And may it all be good and pleasant to Him.

ReplyDeleteBoy you are so right about unity in church. It can rip apart a congregation faster than you tear a sheet out of notebook. May we all remember Jesus' prayer for our lives. May we always have His peace in our lives.
