Why We Cannot Afford to Hate Each Other – Part I

We need each other.

California is burning.  People are losing their homes.
Louisiana has flooded.  People have lost their homes.
Texas has flooded.  People have lost their homes.

There have been earthquakes.   Explosions.   Tornados.   Hurricanes.

Do any of these folks in need really question whose hearts are led to lend them a helping hand or donate to an organization that will administer relief?   

If the extended hand that holds the food, water, clothing or medicine is not the same color as the intended recipient, will the offering of food, water, clothing or medicine be rejected?  

If a hand reaches out to help another out of the water, will the water-logged care whose hand it is?

If the person making the offering wears a cross or a crescent, will it matter?

In times of need what matters is help.

In times of distress what matters is compassion.

Freely given.  

In love for the only race that matters:   the human race.

I ask you now:   What else matters?
