God is Love

God Is Love 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.-1 John 4:7-12 † † † There is a saying "When you look at a field of dandelions you can either see a hundred weeds or a hundred wishes."

Good Morning, There is so much unrest these days, in groups and out groups, division amplified, violence in our cities, the kids all have runny noses and coughs from allergies (but is it allergies, could it be covid19?), the virus and its aftermath continues lurking around each corner, threats of new lockdowns and mask mandates, schools are teaching more division, grandma and grandpa are getting a divorce, businesses are closing because they can't find people wanting to come to work, the ground is scorched and many citizens are missing in Hawaii, trouble at the border ...    It seems all we hear is bad news.  Its easy to feel overwhelmed and flat out disgusted and believe there is no good left in world.  But there is.  Where? You have to shut the laptop, put away the phone and go out into the world and take note.  There is no fear, no threat that stimulates our brain to automatically take note of the good.  You have to look for it and this is why constant attention to Social Media, News and such can create negativity in you.    A while back, Seraphim and I went out into the world to take note of the good. And we found it, hidden away in a most unexpected environment.  In Southern Indiana, there is a Pallet Company in the middle of a forlorn industrial area running along the railroad tracks.  There we found a large scale, it would be easy to drive right past it without noticing it.  But we saw it.   Further investigation revealed that on the two weights - one had the word "LOVE"  and the other weight said "EVERYTHING ELSE"  The scale was tipped in weight toward the side of LOVE under each weight, there was a pyramid on the pyramid under the "EVERYTHING ELSE" weight it said, "Always too much"  and under the weight of LOVE, the pyramid said "Never enough" What an incredible sight to find in the midst of a pallet factory!  Please, make a point to look for what is hidden (especially look within one another - Face to face!), we've lost so much by trying to keep in the know on Facebook, X (twitter), media news.... we're missing what is really out there - go out, take a deep breath and blow out a hundred wishes!
