Words To Ponder

From the Sunday Service,
May 5, 2024

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.

They aren’t just words.

Between the river and the sea, all people should be free.

And children of both nations should be able to play in the sun together.

Mother’s should exchange recipes and fathers play soccer, together. Jewish layers should take Palestinian cases, and Palestinian doctors should see Jewish patients. The kids from the kibbutz should be able to visit the mosque with their friends in peace, and it should work the other way around too.

And if we believe, really believe, that we are part of a web, part of that one world, then it is up to us to look for the peacemakers.

It’s our job to become the peacemakers.

As-Salaam-Alaikum

Shalom.

Peace be with you.

Reverend Amy Petrie Shaw
