Today we heard an epic sermon from Gods word on love. It was a good and sober look at the call on our lives to love one another deeply...with patience and kindness.....with forgiveness and perseverance. Total and completely.
It was shocking and it was compelling at the same time.
Thank you Rae!
When all was good and done and we went home feeling, well full up and directed, the afternoon unfolded.
We shared a glorious day celebrating a birthday party of a darling little girl who we love and who is a treasure on many levels. We have known her since her birth and are so thrilled to watch and enjoy as she grows and thrives.
While at the party tea, a terrible accident dashed the fun. Our dear friends boy... her son.. was badly hurt. In the moment we were called to love and act.... and people did. Crisis and chaos are like that.
As we reflect and pray this evening, for healing and comfort and all our hopes for this precious child whom we love so dearly, we share our lives again with these treasure friends. Over the years these two families have been through it with us and now we are going through it with them.
Love is like that.
As I write I have been reminded of how uncertain this world is.
How out of control we are.
How fragile we are!
In our fragility we can either depend on our selves or we can turn to him who is in control and who is able to do order things and work them for our good.
And so we turn....... we pray for our friends who have always been there loving us and now we love them back!!
