Where do you find love?
Last week I had a chance to go on a trip with
my family to Florida. We didn’t get to see
Mickey Mouse or do any of the other touristy stuff. Instead, this was a trip to see my
grandfather and a few other family members who my kids haven’t met. We also got to stomp around in a Florida
swamp, ride a golf cart through a retirement community, and feed the cattle on
a ranch. What more could little boys ask
for? :)
Of course there were difficulties… Both kids
had ear problems on the plane, and we wound up going to the urgent care one day
to try and deal with an infection, but in spite of all the chaos, it was fun to
see so much growth.
One highlight was getting a tour of a ranch
where my uncle has done some work. We
got to see newborn calves, and the boys had a chance to feed the cattle as
well. My 1 year old learned that if he
was quiet these nearly 1000 pound animals would walk right up to him and eat
the food right out of his hand! It was so much
fun to watch the delight on his face while feeding the animals! In fact, the entire trip was a
delight. Yes there were difficult
moments, but we all experienced love, and we all had opportunities to love
others. The joys of the trip vastly
outweighed the trials!

This week at Community Lutheran we are
learning about what we have to do for love, and we are considering the
sacrifices we may have to make. Today I
hope we can open our hearts to the Holy Spirit.
May we always step out boldly for love!
Blessings!
Pastor Brian
