We must learn to love and appreciate those around us who we count as family or loved ones. Sure, attitudes can make it near impossible sometimes, but yet, with patience, forgiveness and love, we can fulfill Jesus’ command to love one another. When we do not love one another as Christians, no amount of crying and bawling at the graveside will make up for the missed opportunities to obey God’s desire for each of us. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” [John 13:34-35] A blessed Thursday everyone.
