Love Needs Expression

Love your neighbor as yourself. Leviticus 19:18. It is so easy to say that we love our neighbors or people in general but do we take the time to express that love to them? A smile or taking the time to visit with them is one simple way to show love for someone. I work around the elderly and I can see at times when someone may be feeling a little lonely. I like to try and give them a smile and sometimes a hug to know that I care about them. I may strike up a conversation so that it helps fill that void of loneliness. It can be such a simple thing to do to let someone know you care about them.
Let us be Christ's true disciples,
Looking to another's need,
Making a stony pathways smoother,
By a gentle word or deed.
-Thorson
