A Common Goal

Have you ever witnessed something so profound that you wish you had a camera to capture it, in case no-one believed you? Well, that happened to me this morning when I took my dog for her walk. 

What God allowed me the pleasure of seeing this morning, was a duck, a dove and a field mouse all enjoying breakfast together, side by side.

This is thanks to one of our neighbours who diligently sprinkles food every morning , come rain or shine, onto the grassy patch in front of our complex in Century City, Cape Town.

The visual impact of seeing these three beautiful creatures, who under normal circumstances, wouldn’t tolerate each other, reminded me that when we are all focused on the same goal, our differences will no longer matter or become an issue. Our common goal is what unifies us and keeps us from going after our own selfish, greedy desires.

So my fellow human beings, let’s join together, no matter what our differences are, and enjoy this delicious meal, called life, together… Let our focus be in what feeds us and how we can partake of God’s goodness together. Let us stand in unity, each of us with our own uniqueness and declare, that ALL lives matter…
