fighting for love

"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12

With elbows flying and voices rising, a fight almost proceeded in the hallway.  Spotting my friend Mrs. H, i had an envelope for her.  Yet, as i approached her saying, "I have something for you."  She immediately starting with "Oh no, you don't".  It was just a note thanking her for her friendship.  But she was returning from a recent fall and thought i was gifting her with something else.  I had to tell her it was just a note to stopped her from fighting me off.


How many times have you rejected a blessing, mistaking it for something else?  Acts of love come in all kinds of different packages... some wrapped beautifully, and some slapped together with tape and a prayer.

Father, give us patience enough to see and understand what others are doing.  Together life is better with you and the angels you have purposely placed in our path.  Thank you.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
