Unstoppable Unity

I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live” Deuteronomy 30:19

I recently read this quote: “Life cannot give me joy and peace; it is up to me to will it. Life just gives me time and space; it is up to me to fill it” (Author Unknown). What a powerful reminder. There is a story about two women who once lived in a convalescent home. Each one had suffered an incapacitating stroke. Margaret’s stroke had caused paralysis on her left side. Mary’s stroke had caused permanent damage to her right side. Both women were devastated by what has happened to them, since they assumed they would never be able to pursue a pastime they had genuinely enjoyed throughout life, playing the piano.

Then, one day, Margaret and Mary met and began talking about their lives. When they realized they both had an interest in music, an idea emerged. When approached with the idea, the convalescent center’s director brought them a piano and help each woman sit on an elongated bench in from of it. Margaret played the right-hand notes while Mary played the left-hand. Not only did the make beautiful music together, but they formed a long and endearing friendship.

God design for us is that we work together, liver together, and have fun together. When we choose to share our time, our talents, our treasures and space with others, we will reap the rewards of joy and peace. May God bless you and keep you always.
