Loving Others = Owning It

Loving others in the kind of sacrificial love Jesus is commanding in John 13 isn’t easy under good circumstances. When there are things going on behind the scenes on our own lives that drains the strength from us, it can feel impossible. It can feel as if you have nothing to give, yet more and more people are asking you to give your time, your ear, your advice, your patience, and on and on…

Turning The Page

A year ago, if someone had told us we would be penning this letter, I would have waved them off as crazy. Then God began to move in our lives in a way neither of us expected, and neither of us searched for.

My sincere prayer is that as our society eventually makes its way out of this CoVID situation, we will remember how precious this time together was, and that we will regain our desire for dinner table gatherings rather than the fast food hustle as we rush from one place to another. This may not have been the kind of thing anyone asked for, but it could be the very thing that strengthens our most important resources – family, friendships, and real relationships.
