Having the
knowledge that God not
only knows us, but loves us,
gives us comfort. The question of God promising to be
with us has been answered.
He is with us and for us. But
what about here in this
world, can we really learn to
know and trust one another?
Many families fall apart, because no one really knows
the others. What is your
favorite food, TV show, comedian, politician, story in
the Bible or person from the
Bible? What sin do you
wrestle with more than the
rest? Gossip? Bitterness?
Hatred?
Something else?
Who knows these things
about you?
Your family
should. You should be able
to talk with them about such
things in your life and in
theirs. When you cant this
is whats called the breakdown of the family. So to
eliminate the sense of being
a stranger to those closest
to you here is a list of traits

breakdown of the family. So
to eliminate the sense of being a stranger to those closest
to you here is a list of traits
that apply to friends and family. This list puts relationships
into manageable categories
where we can remove the
distance from loving relationships, moving closer to one
another and seeing our love
grow. When love grows, joy
follows.

There is little we can do
about the actions of others,
but if enough of us pull together to love, encourage
and support one another it
will seem like everyones
doing it!
The Bible says in 1 John 4:16
-21, We have come to
know and to believe the
love that God has for us.
God is love, and whoever
abides in love abides in God,
and God abides in him. By

What a beautiful year has
begun, truly the Lord is gracious. As the year opens
and shines the light of a new
beginning, I cannot help but
wonder at the mystery that
is unfolding before us here
in this community. The light
of Christ is shining and I can
feel the warmth of His love
breaking forth from the
cold of the still winter. Yes!
Yes, and amen! We His
children sing as we anticipate this new beginning.
I cant help but think of the
prophet Jeremiah as these
thoughts whirl through my
mind, I have loved you with
an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my
faithfulness
to
you.
Jeremiah 31. His faithfulness has not and will not
fail. Though darkness hangs
about, His love is everlasting. As the Holy Spirit says
in Song of Songs chapter 8
verse 6, for love is
strong as death, jealousy is
fierce as the grave.
Its
flashes are flashes of fire,
the very flame of the Lord.
Have we given up on His

She came to my chair to get
me to take them outside; it was
her second trip to get my attention. I had foolishly ignored
her the first time as I tried to
work on some project, but she
wasnt standing for that any
longer. With her soft little
paws firmly placed on my leg,
she stood as tall as she could
reached up and poked me with
her soft tiny wet black nose,
this time standing on my left
side where she had had to
squeeze herself into the spot,
to make sure I got the message.
I did and we headed outside.
It wasnt what she wanted
she hung out under the table
and said, Well hey I dont
want to go outside did you get
busy and forget us little guys
are located a mere 9 inches
from the floor and its cold
down here. TURN on the heat,
light the fire! We are not wearing a nice toasty wool Columbia
sweater like you! Sheesh!
I ignored her impassioned
plea, since I had made up my
mind if she was going to disturb me and interrupt my work,
we were all going outside. Id
light the fire when we came in.
Do you know how demeaning it
can be when a darling little dog
without words tells you your
faults and flaws with no rancor
in their tone at all? She wasnt
putting me in my place ... just
letting me know the drift of
things.
We wandered around the
yard and I looked at the still
frozen grass, trees, beauty and
bounty that God had provided
in my life since we moved on
the hill.
There were swings still attached to my clothesline supports. They had been placed
there for the four children I
used to babysit. A huge plastic
climbing slide thing rests under
one of my favorite trees, now

way for me, sometimes its just
a gentle nudge, but often its a
gentle poke, a little more than
a nudge, when I refuse to see it
His way.
We all have different styles
of living and relating in this
world and our way may seem
irksome or even unorganized
or over organized depending
on which side of the fence you
are standing on by your own or
someone elses standards. In
Gods word He tells us in 1
Corinthians 13:11 When I was
a child, I used to speak like a
child, think like a child, reason
like a child; when I became a
man, I did away with childish
things.
I just lit the pellet stove. I
had turned the furnace on
when we went outside for our
invigorating turn around the
yard, but, that was several
moments ago I am a little
forgetful . The pups prefer
the pellet stove (so do I) much
cheaper and nicerthe dry
heat.
You see in the world furnace
thermostats are most usually
placed at about my shoulder or
head -height. Which means for
me everything below the thermostat is colder than the displayed numbers on the thermostat screen.
Can you imagine how cold it
can be if heat rises and you are
only 9 inches tall? Another
thing I have learned from the
pups is NOW hold your
breath for this one we all
dont experience the things of
life from the same perception.
We need to make allowances
knowing that other people are
just not going to see or relate
to our and their own needs
from our perceptions.
This is why God calls us to
give up our childish ways and
demands to have things our
way and to think of others and
live with His Godly perception,
in proportion as life relates to
others and not just ourselves.
We save ourselves and those
Pesky Others from being put
There is no fear in
love. But perfect loe
drives out fear, because fear has to do
with punishment.
The one who fears is
not made perfect in
love. We love because he first loved
us.
