LOVE IS
Kind, Patient, Not: Envious, Boastful, Proud. Does Not Slander, Not Self-seeking, Not Easily Angered. Does not hold Grudges, Does Not Delight in Evil.
But REJOICES with TRUTH, PROTECTS, TRUSTS, HOPES, ALWAYS PERSEVERS.

Have a blessed weekend.

Once open to love we open to the giving and receiving of love – the sharing of love.” This is a constant work in progress for me because my ego gets in the way, but when I do empty, I am in awe of God’s presence. It is a great feeling.
Thank you for sharing your insight, and for reminding us how it could be if we only empty, and sit with God.

I truly believe if we just look into our hearts and feel the love of Jesus our world would be a better place.
Please pray for my son Jamie he suffers from mental illness and is currently dealing with a serious back problem. These are difficult times.
Also pray for a co-worker who lost her son this past week, he was very young and left this world way too soon. His name is Adam, may he RIP!
