REFLECTING

REFLECTING.

This week has been a week of "REFLECTING" and looking back, in a good way.  

As we talked about this past Tuesday, July 11th, the CHEERLEADER and I celebrated 31 years of marriage.

Today, July 16th, our son and daughter-in-love, celebrated their 1 year anniversary.

We got together we them, as well as our daughter-in-loves parents, to share in their "One Year Anniversary Cake" as well as a "REFLECTION" of looking back at that day a year ago, via pictures.

We talked about getting ready that day.

We talked about when the bride and groom had their "reveal" before the wedding.

We talked about all the friends and family that were there to celebrate this GREAT event.

One really good piece of advise that the CHEERLEADER had to our son..."NEVER forget how you felt the moment you saw your bride that day."

What a GREAT word for all of us to REFLECT on.  The writer of Hebrews, in the Bible said this in chapter 10, verse 24, "And let us consider one another is order to STIR UP love and good works." [NKJV]

That "STIRRING UP" of love and good works is a REFLECTION of our love for the LORD that we demonstrate to others.  

IF we take the CHEERLEADER'S advise in our own lives, whether it is with our spouse, significant other, children, friends or someone we don't know, when we consider them, we'll be "STIRRED UP" to demonstrate God's LOVE in PRACTICAL WAYS (good works).

As we talked about this past Friday, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU.

Let us all REFLECT ON the goodness that has been bestowed on us and how we can STIR the UP to demonstrate to others LOVE...God's LOVE in US!
