Love One Another
Jesus
said to his disciples, "As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you;
abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just
as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said
these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be
complete.
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another."
John 15:9-17

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another
human being.
We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the
inner spirit.

It is not how much you DO,
but how much LOVE you put into the doing
that matters.

Jeanne
Gibbard and I saw a very interesting performance
at
the Arvada Art Center on Tuesday evening.
We
have had a LOT of rain all week!
It
is unusual for us to have so much rain all at once.
The
water is rising and is reminiscent of past flooding.
Here,
it has covered a walkway near the lake.
Scary!
This was taken at The Highland Haven.
BUT
… seeing all the lush green scenery is delightful.
Carol
Carper introduced Rinny (a tutee), and Sharron Leonard, Rinny’s wonderful
tutor!

On the way home tonight, the rain had changed to heavy,
fat snow.
We have a Winter Storm Warning predicting 8 to 12
inches by morning!!!
Is it really May?
True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends,
but in their worth and choice.
