The many different faces of love in our community…
Subtitles on movies when most people hate them but they know one person can’t hear well!
Fans on and doors open when some of us are freezing.
Eating a meal that we don’t necessarily like because someone took the time to make it.
Washing the feet of your sister without prompting after declaring, “I will do anything but touch someone’s feet.”
Eating a vegetarian meal as a family because some of your family is participating in a Daniel Fast.
Speaking truth that you know will hurt and possibly rub someone the wrong way, but it’s necessary for them.
Wearing grass skirts and flower bra’s with smiles on your face even though you know you look crazy…
Driving an hour and fifteen minutes to the airport to pick someone up at midnight.
These are just a few of the many ways that I have seen our community show love. Many times we can focus on what’s wrong with us or how we are not showing love. We tend to forget that there are many ways that we DO show love.
Thank you my fellow Com Lifers for allowing God to continue to work on, in and through you. None of us are perfect but we are striving to be who God wants us to be. It’s not easy being pruned directly in the face of others but we are all still here, sticking it out and learning together. We want to bear fruit. The old dead stuff is being cut away so the new branches can come forth. I’m grateful and humbled to be a part of this process with you. Looking forward to walking out what God has for us together.
