Loving God and Loving Others


Our mission verse is the Great Commandment from Matthew 22 where Jesus basically tells us to "love God and to love others"! Today I am amazed and humbled as to how that is playing out at our mission project "City of Joy". The farm we are living on is bustling with activity.

Suzanne Evans and Susan Hearn are nurses from America. They have brought medicine and other donated items. They have been our guests for the past couple of weeks. Today they gave out donated bath and body items to our sewing group. The young woman's eyes were as large as saucers as they were given lotions and shampoo. They were so grateful. Now the ladies are out in the neighborhood giving items away.

I like what Francis of Assisi said "preach the Word of God every day, and if necessary use words". Today it is about the hands and feet of Jesus sharing his love through actions. Loving God and loving others.....
