May Love Be...


“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 

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.
