Ginny - 1 John 5:1-2

Good Morning Girlz!!! And Happy Thanksgiving week to all of y'all too!

S - Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

O - I love God therefore I am to love others. Let them know I care.

A - Girls, I just had the most encouraging thing happen to me. I am going to a Christmas party next Friday and I have been having some mixed emotions. I definitly want to go, and am planning on having a lot of fun, but I am still a little confused as to why I was invited & therefore I am dealing with a few nerves in regards to it all. Anyhow, one of the girls helping host just emailed asking if I was coming and said she hoped I was. Y'all don't know what that did for me. I am soaring! Just knowing for sure that someone really wants me to be there and is looking forward to me coming has completely changed my attitude. Even just now coming back from the restroom I felt like I was walking taller. I started thinking...if I could grasp God's love the way this girl's response made me feel....wow! I'd be walking on cloud 9 everyday. God wants me. He longs to fellowship with me. He loves me no matter what. He wants to spend time with me. He thinks I'm cool. Why am I not living each day with the reality of that kind of love? And better yet, why am I not having that love towards others? Why am I not loving others so that they know I think they are cool and I want to be around them and that I think they have value. Traci's comment pushed back the clouds in my life. I want to do the same for someone else. Buying burritos and letting people know they are wanted -- that's what it's all about :)

P - Lord forgive me for not extending love towards others. Forgive me for the opportunities I've missed. Thank you for how good Traci's comment has made me feel. You didn't have to have her do that. May I take the opportunity to make others feel special. Love You!
