Scripture reading
These things I have commanded you, that you love one another.
–John 15:17
Thought of the Day
My son, Parker just began his first teaching job at a high school, here in Houston. My wife and I went over with him last weekend to help him get his room ready for the first day of school. One of my jobs was to staple or hot glue some posters up around the room. On the posters were some different quotes that he had chosen for his students to see and think about every day. Here are three that you ought to see and think about every day.
“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”
Mother Teresa
“All you need is love.”
John Lennon
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Since Parker is teaching at a public school, he couldn’t put up our scripture for today. Luckily I can lift it up to you.
“Love one another.”
Jesus the Christ
Prayer
Lord, teach me how to love as You love. Amen.
