Apparently it was a very moving sermon about all you need is love.
Have they not heard
that every marriage starts in love ?
Have they not heard
that love incarnate, gentle bird
covers the earth in thought and word,
and cruel death despite the dove ?
Have they not heard ?

Sadly what people preach and what people do are just not the same💜
No, and it’s never enough to say I don’t actually have to do anything because I love everybody. It isn’t enough. Nowhere near.
Indeed we all need to work at, sad thing is we don’t count and those in power don’t care 💜💜
I don’t think the people who believe that prayers are enough would ever use their vote for change anyway. They tend to be happy with the status quo.
Yes they do don’t they 💜💜
That’s how their organisation has lasted so long, always backing the powerful.
Great piece.
Thank you, Sadah.

If you send me the link I’ll be pleased to have a look at your site.
Please visit Ascerblog.xyz and sign up on the website. Post that, you can start sharing your content.
I think I’m missing some vital point here. If no one can see the content unless they are signed up, how does anyone know about your website? I mean, why would they sign up if they don’t know what they’re signing up to see?
Do you see what you are signing up to see on Facebook, twitter or wordpress before you do so?
Of course. I can look at any blog or any FB page (unless it’s private) or twitter site. That’s the point isn’t it? That it should be accessible. I just wondered how you advertised your site if it’s for members only.
You don’t want to sign up, cool. No issues!
“love incarnate, gentle bird

Lovely words Jane!
Love can persist for the departed or perish after the vows – we need it strengthening from the source
Thank you, Laura. You’re right, it needs strengthening with acts. Love alone is never enough.
You are right that love without action is not enough.
But also, there are many marriages that do not begin with love.
That’s true unfortunately. No arranged marriage can be based on anything but coercion. I was really getting my dander up about the whole notion of love being all we need. Goebbels loved his children, so what does that prove?
Yes, arranged marriages–especially young girls forced to marry men who rape and beat them.
It’s true that love doesn’t solve everything, but love rather than hate. And the concept of love over politicians who spout racist rants and stir up the haters. I think that’s what the sermon was also about. But after all, it was a wedding sermon, so it should be about love–plus MLK quotes. 😉
Of course, and as such not to be taken too seriously. As a dyed in the wool anti-monarchist, anything to do with the royals gets me wound up 🙂
🙂
You’re right, love is action, not just a pretty word! God’s love is perfect…and He paid the ultimate sacrifice.
To be honest, I’m not sure that love has much of a role to play in putting the world to rights. Compassion, integrity and common sense are probably what’s needed.
love depends on the trust that this world rips out of your soul
So few actions are completely disinterested, even among family. If you’re in the position of depending on anyone, you soon see how few people you can trust. As for ‘loving’ all of humanity. Count me out.
exactly 🙂

Thank you!
So true, but since some years we have more “voters” than “thinkers”.
One of the pitfalls of democracy.
