Unity - 2 Corinthians 13:11

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace, 
and the God of love and peace will be with you.- 2 Corinthians 13:11


We are one nation under God.
We are one family created in His image.

Brothers and Sisters,
Let’s unite!
Black and White, 
Let’s unite!
Democrats and Republicans,
Let’s unite!
Rich and Poor,
Let’s unite!
Native-Born and Immigrants,
Let’s unite!
Christians and Muslims,
Let’s unite!
Young and Old,
Let’s unite!
Weak and Strong,
Let’s unite!
Churches of every denomination,
people from every nation,
every color, every creed, 
let us learn from history!
For the future generations,
let us unite as family!

Let us pray for one another,
and lift up our sisters and brothers.
Let us all walk hand-in-hand.
*A house divided cannot stand.
Let us love one another,
every sister, every brother!




*A house divided against itself, cannot stand. - Abraham Lincoln
(Dedicated to the bridge builders, peaceful protesters, and those who do their 
best to love others as they love themselves.)

Caren Krutsinger June 8, 2020 at 6:21 AM This is exactly what we should do; and it is right there in the Good Book. Perfectly said at this perfectly crazy time. Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 9, 2020 at 10:26 PM Amen, Caren! Thanks for the visit. xx Rhonda

John Watt June 6, 2020 at 1:37 AM This is so write on, Rhonda. Unity is so often the theme in the Bible, you have picked a doozy of a verse "be of one mind, live in peace". This resonates with our current struggles on a national and global basis. A fave for me, and one that I'm sure will garner a win in the contest (and should be a POTD!) Hugs ~ John Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 9, 2020 at 10:25 PM Thanks, John, for the visit and fave! This one didn't place, but I wrote from the heart which is more important:) Rhonda xx

Poet Destroyer A June 6, 2020 at 1:20 AM Oh, this is a wonderful write to share. We need all the unity and peace. We need not to throw rocks then act like saints. Good luck in the contest. Linda Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 9, 2020 at 10:24 PM Absolutely, Linda! I couldn't agree more. Thanks for the visit, xx Rhonda

Rico Leffanta June 5, 2020 at 1:53 PM Well said, Rhonda! Please send a copy to Trump!!! I won't enter the contest because my favourite scriptures are, "Men are that they might have Joy and make Mary" (according to Alexa) which is not nearly as lofty version of uniting as yours! Aloha! Rico Rhonda Johnson-Saunders June 5, 2020 at 2:16 PM I would send enough copies for him and his entire staff if I thought they would read it or even care. Thanks for the visit. :) Rhonda
