Love

Friends: I like to read about  Holy Men and Women. Their lives reflect how much they served and loved others.
I think we Christians should always "be full of love for each other and God
following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins.
And God was pleased, for Christ's love for you was like sweet perfume to him."
(Ephesians 5:2, The Living Bible.)
   I also believe we should "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another." (Philippians 4:32)
And "regard others as more important than yourselves." (Philippians 2:3 )
And "Love one another." (John 13:34).
 
   What separates Christians, who totally entrust their lives to Jesus, from the secular world, is love.
We live in this world but we are not of it. We have hope to keep us going, and the love and assurance
of Jesus that he will be with us no matter what challenges our daily life brings to us. He will love us through them.
And one day we will pass on to live with him in his Father's kingdom where all of the rooms are 10 star rated,
and those dear loved ones who arrived there before you will be on hand to greet you! 
 
Thank you for all the love you have shown to Sarah and I and so many others.
​You are very special people,
Father Jack.
