GESTURES OF LOVE

Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love . . . and weep with those who weep. —Romans 12:10-15

Cards...hundreds and hundreds of cards. Our mail carrier must have thought we were going for a world record. They came by the stack—day after day after day. It was just one of the many ways we knew that people cared for us as our family endured the painful first weeks after our teenage daughter Melissa died in a car accident.

But it wasn't just the cards that provided assurance of loving support. Food came in so fast we nearly filled up the freezer. Flowers filled every corner of the house, especially sunflowers...Melissa's favorite.

People sent pictures of her, blankets with verses, memorial gifts to her school, and books...lots of helpful books on trusting God with a broken heart. Then there were the e-mails, phone calls, and personal words of hope and help...promises of prayer. Offers to do anything we needed. All from friends following God's prompting.

Our aching hearts were lifted by these deeds too numerous to list but too beautiful to forget. The love behind these expressions carried us through days heavy with sorrow.

Look for people in need and follow the Lord's leading. Help heal their brokenness with gestures of love (Romans 12:10-15). Encourage them for God's glory.

It was only a brief little note,
Or a word that was prayerfully spoken,
Yet not in vain, for it soothed the pain
Of a heart that was nearly broken. —Anon.

A little kindness can make a big difference.

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. " (Joshua 1:9 KJV)

DEAR LORD, who suffered torment, agony, and death upon the Cross to free our souls from the chains of iniquity, protect and defend our troops. Guide them in the performance of their duties. Strengthen them to endure hardship, danger and deprivation in Your service. Let their efforts free the people of Iraq and Afghanistan from the chains of terror and slavery, foster a lasting peace in the region, and bring all to a greater share in Your Mercy.

Amen.

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." -from THE BIBLE Romans 8:16-18

Yesterday was a very peaceful day. Bo and I got to spend some time out at the lake yesterday.

They're forecasting more storms in parts of Oklahoma this week. Hopefully no tornadoes. We'll see how things work out.

Severe weather season started kind of late. Recall when we had snow earlier in May.
