Wanting to say thank you...

to all of you who have prayed, encouraged, and walked through the last few weeks with us. Your friendship and love have meant a great deal to us all. The Lord is teaching us to walk patiently with Him day by day...giving our cares to Him as we seek His will and direction in our life. Mac asked me yesterday what I thought God was asking of us right now...and I told her to grab her Bible and look up some verses. Somehow we ended up in Micah...Micah 6:8...
Oh man...what is good:
and what does the Lord require of you....
But to do justice, to LOVE kindness...
And to walk humbly with your God!
Mac asked me what it meant to LOVE kindness...and I asked her to think of something she absolutely LOVED? Something she cherished, she adored? Something so important to her...it is all that is on her heart and mind?
Just imagine if we focused on kindness that way? Just imagine what sort of a person we would become, if all of our energy poured into showing kindness to everyone around us...all of the time?
The change in our hearts, the change in our behavior, the change in our attitudes would be remarkable...and such a testimony to God's loving kindness in our lives! If kindness consumed us...we would chase away those dark selfish thoughts...and become beacons of His everlasting light!
