So very much is happening in our communities. Some things are out of our control like: stormy weather, sickness/disease, death, violence, etc. On the other hand, these are some of the things in life that we do have control over: loving, helping, comforting, encouraging, visiting and forgiving one another. Whomever God places in your path on any given day do what you can to help them. You see we never know when we will need someone. My Pastor constantly reminds us that we need to treat others the way we want to be treated (The Golden Rule). In fact, scripture states that we will reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7). With this being said, let us intentionally choose to love, help, comfort, encourage, visit and forgive one another continuously.
