My children are so different from one another.  Sometimes, that makes life challenging, but most of the time, it makes life joyful.  We talk about different topics, or if we are talking about the same subject, we do it with different emphases.  We attend different types of events, because they are in different activities.  Life is fuller and more interesting because of their differences.  Isn't that true of all of us?  Life is more joyful, richer, and more interesting because we are different!

Gracious God, thank you for the gift of differences.  Thank you for creating us as unique individuals who enrich one another's lives.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
