WEAVING LIFE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

February is always known as the month of LOVE. Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, you can always celebrate God’s love within everyone.
It is this LOVE that truly WEAVES us together. We do not have to “love” the personality, behavior, or attitude of a person, however we can always LOVE
the Divine Spirit that emanates the person. LOVE is our Unity and what holds us all together. It is our commonality and connection with humanity.
I love the song WEAVE. We sang this often when we held church services.

Weave, weave, weave us together,
Weave us together, in unity and love.
Weave, weave, weave us together,
weave us together, together in love.

We are many textures,
we are many colours,
Each one different from the other.
But we are entwined with one another
in one great tapestry.

Weave, weave, weave us together,
Weave us together, in unity and love.
Weave, weave, weave us together,
weave us together, together in love.

We are diff’rent instruments,
playing our own melodies,
Each one tuning to a diff’rent key.
But we are all playing in harmony,
in one great symphony.

Weave, weave, weave us together,
Weave us together, in unity and love.
Weave, weave, weave us together,
weave us together, together in love.

The song says it all. LOVE is not just romantic, It is LIFE. It is the glue that
that weaves in, through and as us. We are all different,(culture, faith, ethnicity, gender preference, politics) yet we are here in life to uphold each other,
encourage each other and above all to LOVE each other.

Project:
This may be a fun activity for your faith group. Better yet, invite a different faith group to join you in this project.
Materials:
dole rod
multi color ribbons
different color markers
Hang 2′-3′ ribbons (25) vertically on dole rod
Write words of LOVE (kindness, compassion, joy, patience, unity etc.) on another 25 ribbons then WEAVE them horizontally onto the vertical ribbons.
Be Creative with more or less ribbons.
Just the act of doing this project brings people together!
