Scripture  

1 John 4:12 (NRSVUE)  

No one has ever seen God;  

if we love one another,  

God lives in us,  

and his love is perfected in us.  



Refrain  

There are no ordinary people.  



Quote / Poem  

C. S. Lewis

“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.”
