What a Gorgeous day! God sure has blessed us for all we have, a family, food, shelter and love. Where would we be without love and peace. And I am not talking about peace signs, that is a false interpretation of Gods word. The peace I am talking about, is the one God gives us, that flicker of light within us all that keeps us going every day. Those who have lost their path and are concealed in darkness, don't understand this light, what gifts he has given each of us to use everyday. Smiling, what does that hurt, nothing! To smile at your neighbor, whether she is someone next to your house, by your locker, or someone who just needs a loving hand. Like the story Jesus told the lawyer of the good Samaritan, in Luke 10:25-37. A man laid in a ditch, beaten and stolen from, two men, a Jewish priest and a Levite saw the man but never stopped to help. That was before the Samaritan stopped, picked him up and took him to an inn. Dressed his wounds and told the innkeeper to take care of him and he will pay for all of it when he returned. (For more of this story and better description go to this website http://www.christianbiblereference.org/story_GoodSamaritan.htm ) So Jesus asked the Lawyer, "Who was a neighbor to this man," and the lawyer said, "The Samaritan." Then Jesus replied, "You go and do the same." Shouldn't we all be like the Samaritan, helpful and full of love and support! But be aware of Dangers, some people use your pity and feelings to get to you. Otherwise, shouldn't we do the same. I pray you all had a fantastic day, and that the Lord is with you and everything that you do.
