“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” John 13:34 (ESV)

We have been especially busy here lately as we have had a guest in our home! Grandma! ♥ We always look forward to her coming to visit and getting to spend some time with her. She has such a wonderful giving heart and always comes with an abundance of good things for our family. A mother is such a blessing and oh how I treasure each of these visits so. She has gone back to her own home now and we are slowly trying to get back to a regular routine. This morning I started thinking about relationships. I am glad that I have a good relationship with my mom because I know that relationships can be such a funny thing sometimes, something that I don’t always understand. But I want to make sure that my relationships are one of my most valued treasures. I know how quickly they can be gone and I want to make the most of every opportunity with those I love. I hope that you will make the most of the time with all the special people in your life. Treasure your relationships! Nurture them, and bless each of your loved ones abundantly! It will make a difference as they see the light and love of the Lord shine through you! ♥

” By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35 (ESV)
