Will we ever love as God loves? We have the capacity I’m sure. After all God created us and I know he doesn’t ask us to do something without equipping us to do it. Oh that I could just flip a switch and love for all mankind would be there each and every day. But, once again I discover that I’m human and though I pray “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done” I know I don’t measure up.

As I was reading this lesson today I feel the need to speak with someone with whom I had a bit of a strained conversation this past week. This individual was looking after the interests of my father while I, in my fear, was looking out for myself. And so I’ll write and thank him for setting into motion a transfusion for my Dad because without his intervention I could very well be attending a funeral this week rather than having my father to love for whatever time God gives us.

I have much to learn and much to be thankful for.
