“A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon
without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.”
I 'borrowed' this quote from my friend Cyndy's blog!
Have you benefited from her GORGEOUS Montana-pics
and food for thought therapy recently?
I've noticed something after years of living...
loving/humble people have a greater sense of humour.
So may humility/love be our greatest quest
not only for the sake of happiness of others
but as we love, we ourselves become best-blessed beneficiaries!
Joy and peace are by-products of love!
Due to the misfortune of misunderstanding
Victoria and I were quarantined for eight days...
thankfully we were healthy and happy
and did a whole LOT of fall-cleaning
in places suffering a whole lot of neglect.
And to top it off my sister Lucy
sent of box of 'love' to spoil us!
all the above, plus spinach and cheese which turned into next day's lunch!
(Sisters know things about sisters that others may not like
she knows how much I LOVE spinach and cheese😍)
May love be the sweet instilling in the fulfilling of tasks
May it make us more than willing to do more than duty asks
May it be the flawless fuel in the battles that we brave
Where sly adversaries duel with satisfactions we crave
May we model, just like Jesus, compassion for fellowman
Spread the glad tidings of Christmas all year through to all we can
May love be a wordless witness in a walk worthy of Christ
May love, without reservation, be the fortune that we seek
May we shun discrimination and the pride that makes us weak
May we look with humble honor to the author of our hope
As we cherish one another so that everyone can cope
May love be the flame that kindles what refills our cups of joy
When goodwill or patience dwindles, may love its forces deploy
Transforming the ‘ordinary’ into honor’s role renewed
May love be mercy’s outpouring that fills us with gratitude

and last but not least,
a LONG sentence of thanks for the love of fellow-believers😇
Col.1:3-8
We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
praying always for you,
since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus
and the love which you have for all the saints;
because of the hope laid up for you in heaven,
of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel
which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit
and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also
since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;
just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant,
who is a faithful servant of Christ on our behalf,
and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
