Surprise!!!!!

Just got back from a surprise birthday party for a good friend.  I'm constantly amazed by how God calls us to be His children and then grafts us into an amazing family with brothers and sisters in Christ who are constantly pouring out His love.  "By this all men will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another" John 13:35  I am so blessed to be surrounded by believers who take this verse seriously and love one another including me!!! Sometimes (OK often) I know I am not all that lovable, but God and His people love me anyway.  I am challenged to love with the same grace and sacrifice and willingness as I have been loved with.
