But we don’t need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another. 1 Thessalonians 4:9 NLT
This is not the way I wanted to celebrate Memorial Day this year. Shingles, isn't that an old folks problem? Hmm, maybe that shoe fits me now.
Paul wrote what he didn't need to write, since God had taught the readers already. In our age though, I'm not sure that we should not be reminding one another frequently. There should be not much question in any mind in our nation now that we are being terrorized. Schools, grocery stores, movie theaters, and other public places, have been used too often since about April of 1999 as murder zones. You know the names of many of them. It seems that a time foretold by our Lord Jesus at Olivet has come. It is not to refute Paul that we remind one another of our love, but that lawlessness has been increased and the love of many turns cold. We do not want to be among those turning cold in our loving hearts.
Love to you from our Lord Jesus and me on this day,
Bucky
