Good Morning,
Looking forward to a hot cup of Door County Mistletoe Mocha in a few minutes. The wind is pretty cold this morning. Looking forward to that first cup.
In our subdivision and next to our home is a small residence built for housing the elderly. They only have 8 people at the most housed there. Due to Covid 19 precautions visiting is not allowed except for very special circumstances. I would have to say that 99% of the time visitors do not enter. What my wife and I have been watching is a set of sisters who visit their mother through the window in her room. They talk safely through the window screen keeping a six foot distance from Mom at all times. They rarely miss a day.
Yesterday it was extremely cold and low and behold the two of them were there, all bundled up and they visited for about 20 minutes while standing in a heavy wind.
Rene and I happened to be outside with our dogs and both of us remarked about the dedication these two sisters had and the love they showed for their mother. It is very impressive. You see love in action as they sacrifice to be there regardless of the weather.
I pondered this for awhile and came to the conclusion that obviously Mom taught the two sisters well. she was probably always there when the girls needed her. Mom taught them how to love and probably did so by example.
1 John 3:18 Children, let us not love in word or in talk, but in deed and truth.
We can talk about loving others but it's true meaning is seen by the actions we take for others.
Food for thought. Who do you know that just might need to see love in action today?
Marty
