"love is all we have"

I have a few things one my heart that I would like to share…

I was very touched to see those stop to help others…..one person was my husband who helped several who were stranded….he never complained once….he just did it because that is the kind of man he is and I love him so much…..

What broke my heart was to hear others say things about those who were stranded…..and here is my take on that….

It doesn’t matter what the circumstance is…..we as Christ Followers are to Love One Another….we may not agree with someone’s choice but we love them anyways because Christ Loves Us…..and if we don’t show his love then who will….we are his Children and we are to share his love…. there are some families out there where there dear loved one did not make it home at all...never will they hear their voice or see their face...smell their presence...pick up their socks....I think you see where I am going with this.....and may be all they were doing were going out to get that last minute gift for their child who this may be their first or last Christmas or they got the bonus they did not think they would get and they are going to get that turkey...

my heart breaks for those families who lost...and I pray God's peace, healing, love and mercy for them...

I have to admit I was a little foolish in getting out in the midst of a blizzard for the sake of a memory card for the early Christmas present my husband surprised me with…..I got out for something that was materialistic….not the best of choices….but it was my choice……I got stuck…..and let me tell you what…..The Angels of The Lord got me UNSTUCK because no one would stop to help me….I made it to Wally World with 3 minutes to spare for the sake of a memory card…..but like I stated….it was my choice……I was so grateful that our Almighty God….got me home safely…..and my husband who pushed me into the garage when I got stuck in our driveway……but here is the deal…..I would hope that my family and friends would all pray for me had I not made it back home…

I know that I got a good slap in the face when I witnessed some things that hurt my feelings….not toward me but towards others and it really made me look at how I look at others for choices they make and here is the deal…..it’s their choice…..my choice is to love them and I pray that no matter what someone does…..I love them anyways……I am not sure if this all makes sense but it’s been on my heart the past few days since Christmas and I want to share it.

"`You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, `Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27

What this scripture means to me is that I love God with everything that is in me….and I love my neighbor as myself….if I don’t love myself….How can I love someone else…..what we speak towards others often reveals what is reflected in our hearts so I pray that we all speak of love and that we realize how precious we all are and that no matter what choice we make in life….we love each other….we love the Lord….because when it comes down to the end…..”LOVE” is all we have.

May the spirit of the Lord and his Love fill your home this day and all the days to come….may you see just how sweet and precious you are and may you know just how loved you are by not only me but God himself.

Blessings to you and yours.

I thank the Lord that he gave his one and only son so that I could have life and I thank you God from the bottom of my heart for loving me that much. (John 3:16)

Happy New Year
