easy loving

We all find it easy to love those who love us.  The really tough part comes in loving our enemies.  Back in the day when I held grudges and played the victim I had harsh feelings toward a lot of folks.  I can honestly say I have never really hated anybody but I sure didn't like some of them.  Jesus told us to pray for them and I have found that to be a gift.  Hatred harms the one who is hating more than the subject.  It eats away at a peaceful soul.  You don't really have to like them, just love them anyway.  Make amends when you can.  I recently made peace with someone who has been on my mind and heart for several years.  All it took was for me to extend a hand in friendship and forget the past.  It takes work and soul searching but it can be done with the help of prayer.

It's warmer today but still windy.  Maybe Reaves will play outside instead of watching Jillian and Addie.  We can only hope.  Y'all keep the faith ^j^
