29-Mar-12: Philippians 2:1-11
If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, 2 make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. 5 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
“……and you say we will share the mind of The One?”
So the friends under the wings of Crow and Bird and Fly
climbed up out of the healing waters such balm to their feet.
So the friends, the critters, the unly-folk climb once more so high
that oft they needed each other’s arms in brace of help so fleet.
“Oh, now weesies not needsies so much talk, so much clatter-patter!
“Did ye watchies how goodsies we am, by jam, in helping so soft?”
“Aye, and we did know long afore of ye growing wordless when did matter.
“Aye, and we did know ye would be part of the mind of The One up aloft.”
