Be Fair



​
Fairness does not mean everyone gets the same.
Fairness means everyone gets what they need—Rick Riordan
It seems like so many people are complaining about unfairness in the news these days. That is if you are still following the daily litany of the ills in our world. Rarely do we hear about those who are dedicating time and energy to help the neediest of our neighbors. But they are out there feeding the hungry and caring for the marginalized in our communities. There are those committed to political action, to disrupt the devastating changes being proposed or being carried out that add to the distress of so many. They are out there doing the work because they believe it is important to avoid complacency.
Hopelessness is the enemy of justice—Bryan Stevenson
So, my friends, let’s redouble our efforts by either donating time, talents, or resources to the organizations that are working to create a fairer environment in our communities.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up—Galatians 6:9
When one person suffers, we all suffer. As we begin the summer season in this hemisphere, please remember our siblings who have been victimized by natural and man-made disasters. Do whatever you can to lighten their burdens.
A friend loves at all times, and a sibling is born for a time of adversity—Proverbs 17:17
Be the best sibling you can be in our human family. Wishing you a safe and peaceful June
