The Love of Christ...

In the Word, God tells us to Love one another...In our walk with Him, we are challenged every day to share our love. Have you ever just smiled at someone and seemed to change their entire facial expression? Friday I had the opportunity to do this several times and was very moved by the Love that came over these ladies. WalMart employs aren't always the happiest...a simple smile and some easy conversation really seemed to change her day. Starbucks later that day, Sterling cut up with the young ladies working at the Avenues location...a few gracious comments and some "lessons" on how to create iced coffee with their via and a next thing we know, he gets to try something coming out in July...their version of instant iced coffee. Not to mention a coupon for a free beverage his next time in! Do you think God sees these acts?
Also, this past Friday I went to see my surgeon...we are down 272lbs. WOW, and you know, sharing my faith with him even seems to be making an impact. I am coming to see that taking care of ourselves is also an expression of this Love! If we are healthy and strong, we can minister more effectively and from a more healthy place. Also, time in the Word! Absolutely essential! How can we even begin to share His Love without first allowing it to impact us first!?!

Blessings and love,
