Love one another!

Here are some pictures of our Rylie Bug to share ...she is growing way to fast for her daddy and mommy...She is a trip...she tells you "I ash a tutu laaaaaveu nost" translated " I absolutly love you most" It is so cute how she says it. Kelly she also says "soup" for bathing suit like your boys. She thinks everyday she is going to the beach or pool. I try to tell her beach days are over for awhile and pool days are only when mommy is off, but telling that to a 22 month old is fruitless...
I wanted to share some thoughts on our message at church today ...

Love one another that was our topic of discussion from Jeff today at church. Love one another and God really brought it home to me today. It is easy to tell someone that you love them. I shake people's hand ALL day long at work. I am around people ALL day when I work and it is easy to tell some people that you love them, but sometimes it is not as sincere as it needs to be. For instance at church we all have been guilty of saying how are things or how are you doing..hey love you brother/sister and then keep walking barely giving some people the time to answer. We get caught up in the world around us. However God tell us to LOVE one another
John 13: 34-35
A NEW command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this ALL men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.
It is here that he instructs us to love EVERYONE no matter the color, where they are from or who they are....WHY because He commands it and also because he loved us so much that he GAVE his LIFE for us...that is how much He loved us....and if we love one another then that is how people will know that we are HIS...not by how much we attend church or how much we give all those things are of course important but it is about how we love one another.
Now that is the easy part to love...here comes the hard part for some....
Luke 6:31-32
do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? even sinners love those who love them.
Luke 6:35
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of them Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
There it is....it is so much harder to love on your enemies but that is what He commanded for us to do. There will be times whe nwe are scammed by people but that is not our worry God will take care of that for us and be our vindicator....we just must do as He commands and LOVE!!
I was just really moved by our message today and thought I would share...
