Ryan & Amanda,
You know our newest one is named Trina, so it really caught my eye and I had to read this post first.
It got me to thinking…
As I was teaching Cubbies this week the lesson of the good Samaritan, God revealed to me a little more of what His love is and how we show can/should show it. You know the story. The first two guys, probably important , educated, church people saw the injured man and maybe even had feelings of ‘oh, that’s too bad’ and then went on about their life. The Samaritan gave of his resources and his time – the only thing we can never get more of – to take care of this guy.
The first of two big things that dawned on me was that love is responding to the need. Just feelings of pity mean nothing.
The second is that God expects us to do what we can do. Nothing more, and nothing less.
May God richly bless you both, as he is blessing many others through you.
Good words!
