Good morning world. I pray for unity, peace, and love to cover you and keep you through your life's journey. May your eyes be open to the need for these three to work together for your good and the good of all people. In Jesus name, Amen.

Definitions: Unity/ united- the state of being JOINED as a WHOLE.
                     Peace- freedom from disturbance, mental calm, freedom from war or violence, freedom from civil disorder.
                     Love-  endurance, kindness, unselfish, honoring, respectful, reasonable, positive, hopeful, forgiving, and sharing. The act of giving more than you receive especially when it is not deserved.

Let's change the world's view of love. Real, genuine, restorative love is not a "feeling" you fall into and then out of when you lose the "feeling". Love is not something we do as long as people are "loving" us back. Love is not flippant, a word to be used lightly for the things that bring temporary satisfaction. Love is a choice we make, to show each others how to respond to injustice. Love is choosing to speak kind words when others attack with their words. Love is choosing to care for someone who doesn't even know my name. Love is listening, even when we think our way is the only right way. Love is looking past our skin tone and seeing the heartbeat. Love is choosing to walk away but hopeful that love ones will change for their own benefit. Love is choosing to stop pointing fingers and using our hands to help someone.

Who can we help today? See a need and fill that need. It doesn't have to be big. No one even has to know. We don't need to know the person we show up for. Just do something to show what love is. Let's work love like we are getting paid for it. Til next time, Unity, peace and love.
