They are without price. They are worth their weight in gold. To have someone willing and wanting to put their arms around you and say, "Welcome!" when they don't have to is a gift beyond all measure. It is priceless. To have someone invite you into their group, to have someone sit next to you during chapel, or on the bus, or just happy to be in your prescence . . . makes the sun shine brighter, it makes the room warmer, and it makes all of life sweeter. The angels sing harmony for a moment, the birds tweet in the trees, and for just a moment, you are not in the arms of a human friend, but in the arms of God. . . being embraced by a loving Father. Acts of love reflect the One who is love. *light bulb* ooohhhh. . . .So, that's why Christ wanted us to love the world as He loved us. To show the world that there IS a better way, the way of life, the way of light, the way of God.Bookwormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16680445631102518281noreply@blogger.com
