A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, August 19th

Good Morning, God
Lord, there were headlines about a collaboration between jazz musicians and Blue-Grass musicians, between New Orleans and Nashville.  The points were made that (1) both genres are music; (2) both genres have rhythm, tones, history and futures; (3) both genres have people who enjoy both.  So, why not form a combination of the two kinds of music?  They did and the results were great.
Lord, there are many areas of life where different genres meet and wonderful synergisms occur.  From the mundane "wafer cookies and cold milk"  to men and women living and working together, to teams made up of individuals with different gifts and skills to build better mouse traps, to people of different races, creeds and ethnicities collaborating for the common good, it is awesome to realize what can be done.
Lord, may we begin this day and the rest of this week with the attitude toward you of "Not my will but yours be done", then continue working with those around us with the attitude of "What can we accomplish better together.
In Jesus name, Amen
