Find SOMETHING

Whatever is true,

whatever is honorable,

whatever is just,

whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely,

whatever is commendable,

if there is any excellence,

if there is anything

          worthy of praise,

think about those things.

            Philippians 4. 8

(Dig deeper,

look for them,

seek it out,

find something or anything,

not just to think about,

   but on which to dwell.

The Greek word whatever

    means exactly that:

as many as or as few,

how much, how little,

as great as, as small as,

whether in someone

          else's behavior,

          reaction,

          or attitude,

                   or our own.

On what we dwell

  shapes our responses

and our witness

           to the world.)

O LORD,

Be it chaos or storm,

ineptitude or attitude,

may we pursue

 the mind, grace and

               love of Christ.

Help us not just to see

  with a different heart,

but approach, navigate

  respond and dwell.

Empower us

  to be different

 even in slim pickings

and merciful to both

ourselves and others.
