We have a darling girl that goes to church with us who is bright, cheerful and an excellent example who we are also lucky enough to have watch our kids from time to time. We found out recently that she tore her ACL so she’ll have to pass up her sophomore year of soccer to recover from surgery. We were so sad to hear her bad news.

I gave her a call when we found out and we brought her by a card and balloons today after her surgery. Her parents, who are also amazing people, were thanking us for taking such an interest in her. Truthfully it is a blessing to me to love this girl. As it is to love any of the people in my life. When I get to really show my love for someone, even in a simple way I selfishly get so much satisfaction out of it. What would my life be with out opportunities to love others. Very sad and very empty. My life is only as wonderful and blessed when I take advantage of opportunities to love those around me.
