That such an un-supernatural thing should be considered miraculous is in part sad (what a disappointment that we so often fail in basic kindness and help!) but as I get older and more acquainted with the terrible violence of the human creature, the more I stand with Brother Tilden.PeaceBanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431551457505981195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3811228767705174709.post-36573894945993786642009-03-07T17:29:00.000-04:002009-03-07T17:29:00.000-04:00Hi BU:Tilden is quite a guy:"Love and Labor go han...Hi BU:<BR/><BR/>Tilden is quite a guy:<BR/><BR/>"Love and Labor go hand in hand. Love needs Labor for expression, and Labor needs Love for inspiration. We are one body with many members: the eye for seeing; the ear for hearing ; the hands for working; the feet for running; all animated with the Christ spirit of healing Love. All hear his voice bidding crippled humanity. "Rise; . . and walk."<BR/><BR/>The source of miracles is the love and labor we share with one another. Every now and then I am aware of being blessed by someone else's efforts and concern.<BR/><BR/>I seem to get this just about every time I visit Boston Unitarian.<BR/><BR/>There is something mystical about reading these passages. Thanks so much for providing them.<BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>David MarkhamDavid G. Markhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336565533124142690noreply@blogger.com
