Gina, this was beautiful, thank you. Some of us over here have a little disease we call "New Jersey Edge" (NJE). Sometimes some of us take pride in it, although it's not really something to be proud of, but reminders like this one help us to keep focused on the truly important things. Down with NJE! Let's continue to put on the new personality!
Never forget that there is no greater love than this: that we surrender our soul in behalf of others. We need to be self-sacrificing, even willing to give our lives for one another, but how can we do that, if we can't even get along. Jesus set the example, let's follow it! Show love for Jehovah and his people, and rejoice in spiritual things and conversations!
Talk about beautiful!! Todd, that was awesome!! :) You made me smile!!
awesome--mission accomplished.
Seriously.... thinking, talking, and learning about Jehovah always makes us smile, that's just how we are made. I like how the Draw Close to Jehovah book puts it: When you make Jehovah your intimate friend, you are always talking about him, or to him, and either way our joys are heightened, and our sorrows are lightened.
Exactly. That's why I love that book so much. The name of the book says it all. We can't really appreciate Jehovah, and all that he does for us, until we do exacly what that title says.
Todd, you rhymed!!! :):)
