Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. During the past 3 weeks spent with family and grandchildren, going on a walk was a cherished activity. After a splash in the rain puddles my granddaughter stands still for a moment contemplating her next move. I can almost hear her singing, “be kind and compassionate” from one of her children’s albums as she gets ready to run. My most favorite time to see her run, though, is after her bath and pajamas. She comes running into the den saying, “here comes the loving,” and gives the most wonderful, “squeezy hugs.”
When I told this simple little story to my friend she suggested that maybe that is what we all should be saying to everyone we meet. So as we go through our day as dearly loved children, walk in the way of love and be ready to say, maybe not aloud, “here comes the loving,” Prayer Loving Father Thank you for the love of children. Teach us to be kind and compassionate. Give us the courage to love others that we see this day in tangible ways. Amen
