If there is light (of God) in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty (of the imago dei) in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony (of inclusiveness and hope) in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order (of respect, human rights and justice) in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
Adapted Chinese Proverb
Consider adding your own words as I did in the parenthesis. What is light, beauty, harmony, order and peace for you today? May we give thanks that each one of us can make a difference in the world.
Happy Thanksgiving from only a simple preacher!
