And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.’ And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good.–Genesis 1:24
Beloved community means welcoming everyone to our sandbar! Large, small, furry, fluffy, feathered, finny, crusty,scaly and crustations, all are welcome here.
I wonder who’s welcome at your sandbar…you know the one at home, the one at work, the one at your favorite eating place…even the sandbar at church? Who do you meet and who isn’t there? And what does all of this mean? Keep wondering and welcoming and we will keep co-creating with God.
Creator, hope us create places of welcome and lover for all creatures great and small, May we continue to seek and find new ways to welcome everyone into the sanctuary of beloved community. Amen
