Its all about Love



Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited, or proud"-
I Corinthians 13:6


Love is beautiful. Despite all the troubles around us, love makes life worth living. So let us be instruments of kindness, warriors of love to all those around us! Are you up to the challenge?

Instrument of kindness, warrior of love
To love one another,
to not hold a grudge,
to help those who need us,
to ease someone's pain,
to share the burdens,
to sing a sweet tune,
to make someone happy
to lighten the load...
to share the successes,
to cry with the sad,
to make a child happy,
to point to the stars,
to heal those life wounded
and help mend a heart
to "be there" when needed
and to understand,
is all in the big plan
that God, in His grace,
set out for this nation,
and beautiful land.
But many have wandered
away from His Word,
ignoring His calling
to love and prosper.
So many are needing
a kind word or two...
And many now wander
in darkness and pain.
Won't you let your light shine
and let your love flow
to others in kindness,
and a helping hand?
Be patient, be loving.
Treat others with care.
The joy that you now spread
will come back again.
Reach out to your neighbor,
for you never know
the time when you'll need him
and knock at his door.
Refuse not your kindness
to strangers or poor
for by helping others
you're helping the Lord.
If love makes the world sing
and love heals the heart
rejoice in the blessing
that you may impart
by loving your neighbor
as you love yourself,
for you' re making this earth
a much better place.
