Good day my friend. I
have pneumonia this week and am staying at home resting at least until
Thursday. Hopefully by then I will be feeling better since the doctor said I
needed to rest for a few days. So Avery and I are doing our best to get all the
rest we need as she gets back to her young wild self. She has two bottom teeth
coming through now, so cute. She's been smacking her lips a lot too. We need to
teach her how to go forward in her walker, she’s got the backward thing down
though.
Keep praying. Thank you
David

Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
Colossians 3:14
Love has always taken a life of its own for as long as I can remember. It creates something which is always beautiful, and brings things together in wondrous ways. We know about it, we study and discover all we can about it, and more important try to experience it as much as we can. But can we every truly grab hold of the love the Bible talks about?
Paul uses love when talking in Corinthians about spiritual gifts. In the middle of describing the gifts he reminds us that without love there is nothing. Love is displayed throughout the events of the Bible and the ultimate display is of course the cross where Jesus poured out his life blood for us. His love was the sacrificial love. We also know love is kind, patience, never holding bitterness and so forth. Even when we begin to master just a little piece of it, we fall short of the whole thing.
It is when we learn more closely what love is that we can appreciate more of God’s nature and attitude toward us. If you substitute the name of Christ for love, it fits every time. Jesus is kind, Jesus is patient, Jesus is long-suffering. It is with that love He holds us and all the body together. Without love there is no peace, no harmony. But we must seek Him to understand how to love and how to live in His love.
Keep praying. Thank you
