Poetry
Teamwork
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller
Our discussion this morning in church was about teamwork. We talked about why working with others makes us better and helps us do things better.
It reminded me of the Lord of the Rings. All along the way, Frodo needed the help and encouragement of others.
As I tried to put my thoughts into some coherent writing, this poem is probably the best way to describe what I felt.
People of God
Created the same
Made different
Inside we are alike
The world makes
Us different
Jesus — a friend to all
Didn’t reject anyone
Tax collectors, prostitutes
Why do
We close
Our hearts?
It is not right
To be
“Us versus them”
We need to learn
To work together
Teamwork
Working for
The best
Of all
How do
We know
What is real?
What is
Hidden
Beneath a
Facade?
God wants
To restore
Us

Be open
See beneath
The veil
Let’s come together
As people of God
Loving all
as
God loves us

“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at.
People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7, NIV)
A few ways to reach out to others
- Be ready to give help when and where needed.
- Give generously.
- Be willing to listen to both sides of a discussion.
- Join others to help a worthy cause.
- Don’t look at colour, race, religion or politics. Instead, look at the heart of a person.
- Watch and be ready. God will open doors for you to help someone.
