Well done! You are at Day Thirty - only ten days of Love 40 days left. Your jar or box with your name slips is probably looking quite empty now...Today's post is helping us to think about bringing joy to others as we love them - smiling, encouraging, saying thank you. Maybe you could take a minute or two to share some joy with your fellow Love 40 days journeyers. Please share a verse that has helped you, a story of a loving activity that was really effective, an answered prayer, or just a greeting so that we all know we are on this journey together - something that will make another reader smile!

We got a bit behind with reading the blog etc, just watched the video clip of the girls putting on the banquet, wow, that was amazing, wouldn't it be great to do that, although completely terrifying at the same time.
ReplyDeleteSometimes terrifying is great - it means you let God show up when you can't do everything yourself! It is a great video and a great challenge to us all!
DeleteWe still have a few names stuck on our fridge that we are still thinking about how to love them. It has been fun trying to think up ideas that will specifically bless that person. The kids have been especially creative - from artwork to playdates to phonecalls to lists of things they love about that family. The best - and sometimes hardest - but has been explaining why we are doing what we are doing in simple words. But it has started some great conversations - people seem to have been welcoming of our attempts! I think the kids will miss pulling out the names after Easter!
ReplyDeleteOur favourite conversation among ourselves has been Nathaniel's answer to the question "what is the best way to show someone we love them?" - "just give them some power of Jesus!" That must be why Jesus told us to have the faith of children...
