just a thought... 04/19
love thy neighbor?! how little can we fathom of what Jesus is teaching us about who our neighbors are. in Galatians 5:14 we’re told “… ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” (NIV).
how often we fail to help the most innocent man or woman who is need of help. there’s a story from Dr. James Dobson’s book ‘Night Light’; where his Uncle Willis Dobson is walking home in the cold of winter and comes across a homeless man and give’s his coat to him (his son, Bill, asked ‘why did you do that, that’s a brand new coat’); and his simple reply ‘cause i have another coat at home, and he has none’. what a great example of loving someone as yourself and such a great selfless act of humbling oneself to another’s need.
remember today, as you do unto others, they tend to do unto you. isn’t it time we reach out to those in need…

That is some great advice. As my son told me the other day we are supposed to love everyone; even the people who are mean to us. I wholeheartedly agree. Just think if everyone loved everyone else and there were no enemies or hate there would be a lot less murders, rape, etc. The world could be a better place.
