BEING A WITNESS OF GOD'S LOVE TO OTHERS
I'm going to start with the family! If your family is anything like mine, you will have at least one person who doesn't speak to another person. Sometimes that one person wants YOU to choose sides. What do you do? Then there's the neighborhood. Feuds happen. What is your response? Moving on to the workplace, do you treat all your fellow workers with equal kindness and generosity? Your family, neighbors and maybe co-workers know that you are a Christian and that you may go to church. For them, you are an example of the faith that you - that I - profess and there are expectations. We are all God's beloved children. He doesn't play favorites and doesn't expect us to either. Jesus gave us this command: love one another. I don't hear any exceptions in this Gospel passage.

Excited to start over! WWG1WGAWW !!! One day I want to wake up and find myself living in the..... UNITED STATES OF "NORTH" AMERICA
Family can be really hard. My daughter despite being a devoted Christian took my grandkids out of my life because I wouldn't help fund a business project. That was two years ago this month. Her twin brother lost his life in a motorcycle incident last August and I still haven't seen her or her kids. It's like I've lost five people in my family 😭😭😭😭😭

Sometimes a simple smile can change a person's day. We are usually good when there is a crisis. We send sympathy cards or a meal to someone who experiences a loss. We might help babysit for someone who has a family emergency. But in the everyday, it's how we show respect, courtesy, kindness - love - that lets others know that we care. There's an old story about a monastery where the monks are told that Jesus is one of them. They begin to treat everyone as if he were Jesus and before long, people flocked to the monastery because of the love they witnessed among the monks. Well, Jesus is among us. He lives in each of us. If we begin to treat everyone as we would treat Jesus, what wonders we might see in our families, our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and our church.
