For your consideration…
There are many kinds of love. The love that matters most is unconditional love. It is most easy to have that for our children but more difficult for everyone else.
Unconditional love is love without judgment. That does not mean that we agree with everything. It does not mean we do not see the pitfalls. It means that we love others despite their decisions and actions.
We are asked today to consider the unconditional love we know and understand. Then consider suspending judgment on political and religious beliefs, life styles, personal choices, other cultures etc. of all people. Consider choosing to extend unconditional love to all.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don’t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.

Lord, we don’t need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.
