Good morning and happy Friday. Well, we adopted a new dog yesterday. It was to be her last day if she wasn't taken in. It was just by "chance" that we saw her picture on FB and decided to go get her. She got a reprieve from a death sentence. I wonder how many people there are in the world that get a reprieve by "chance" from a death sentence of an eternity in hell because someone happened across them and "adopted" them into the family of God. Nothing happens by chance and I don't believe in luck. God is in full control. I hope and pray for the same kind of attitude for people who are lost as our new addition got from us yesterday. Our other little lap dog is not going to be happy about all this and sometimes other people won't be happy that you took time to spread a little love to someone they may not think is worth it. Every one is worth love, especially the love that comes from a heart after God. It won't be by chance that you run across a moment of "do I or don't I" when it comes to showing love and compassion to someone. It's not by chance that someone showed you love in a time of your life where some may have thought you were unworthy. Love is the greatest of all things and feelings God has given us. At our very core we are designed to and made out of love. It's such a simple thing to love but yet one of the hardest things to do for us. It was never hard for Jesus, never. He's our role model and who we are to imitate. Practice loving and it will become easier, but first loving Jesus makes it all the more better. Let me start today by simply saying to you, no matter who you are or what you may think of me or my God, I love you. I really do. In love always. <><
