“Let all that you do be done in love.”

Is there anything more powerful than love? Expressions of love softens hearts. And, continual demonstrations of love forms the true bonds between people, whether they be family members, friends, or new acquaintances. Showing our love makes deposits into the emotional bank accounts of others. I am always amazed at how a simple smile or saying “Hello” can brighten people’s spirits when they are down and not expecting anything good to come their way.

DEAR GOD, HELP US TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER, REGARDLESS OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN, THE PLACE OF OUR BIRTH, OR HOW DISTRACTED WE’VE BECOME WITH THE STRESSES OF OUR LIVES. PLEASE KEEP US EVER MINDFUL THAT WE ONLY MAKE FRIENDS BY LOVING ALL OUR NEIGHBORS. AFTER ALL, WE ARE ALL YOUR CHILDREN. THANK YOU FOR LOVING US FROM OUR CREATION TO OUR SALVATION. AMEN.
