Dsc01580 WE SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER…(1 John 3:11)

Dsc01540 LOVERS smile a lot. Something caring and contagious flows through them. It’s enviting, warm, gentle and kind.

Dsc01553 Lovers treat you as someone really special. They like you as a wonderful person and do not hesitate to say so.

Dsc01555 Lovers’ faces light up every time they see you. Instinctively you know that you have a place in their hearts…

Dsc01535 Lovers know God. The overflow of their lives show that the fruit of the Spirit is love. Dsc01563 Lovers are generous with compliments from the heart, quick to see your strenghts, and tender with your weaknesses. Dsc01574

Lovers have flaws. Sometimes their weaknesses hurt us more than those of others from whom we expected so little.

Dsc01570 Lovers needed to be loved too…We can easily expect lovers to do more for us than what is reasonable.

Dsc01585 Lovers have many who will rise up and call them blessed. And rightly so. They have blessed so many for so long that it only seems right to give them a little gratitude in return. Dsc01545

Lovers do incredible good to all within their sphere of influence. It’s a little wonder then that the most repeated commandment in the New Testament is "love one another." Dsc01582_1   

Lovers are made and not born. To become a lover is a matter of decision, attitude and commitment…for the rest of your life.

a MAX’s Moment

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005
  • Belenkatfrancisleidsate_yolynjoyceshi The small moment is the carrier of God’s most enduring gift.
  • It must not be permitted to slip away unsavored and unappreciated.
  • Shakespeare once said that, "The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together."  Merzpebsleidstessaizel_mom_franklin_2 Life’s moments are just like that…moving together continuously, to give our days their richness.

  • Two are better than one…for if they fall,
  • one will lift up his companion. (Eccles.4:9-10) Leids_alejandro_abbyStep_bro_franklin_leids_bestfriend_shiel

One of the marks of true greatness is the ability to develop greatness in others.

  • Ate_yo_leids_mom Countless times each day a mother does what no one else
  • can do quite as well. She wipes away a tear, whispers a word of hope, erases a child’s fear. She teaches, ministers, loves, and nurtures…and she challenges and cajoles her kids to do their best and be the best.
