Aw! That’s the cutest little lady bug! That’s a good saying too, there are so many little good things. Sometimes the big bad things just block them out! LOL.

Family Trademarks
July 30, 2014

Read: 1 John 4:7-16

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. —1 John 4:7

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 51-53; Romans 2

The Aran Islands, off the west coast of Ireland, are known for their beautiful sweaters. Patterns are woven into the fabric using sheep’s wool to craft the garments. Many of them relate to the culture and folklore of these small islands, but some are more personal. Each family on the islands has its own trademark pattern, which is so distinctive that if a fisherman were to drown it is said that he could be identified simply by examining his sweater for the family trademark.

In John’s first letter, the apostle describes things that are to be trademarks of those who are members of God’s family. In 1 John 3:1, John affirms that we are indeed part of God’s family by saying, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” He then describes the trademarks of those who are the children of God, including, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God” (4:7).

Because “love is of God,” the chief way to reflect the heart of the Father is by displaying the love that characterizes Him. May we allow His love to reach out to others through us—for love is one of our family trademarks.

Father, teach me to love with the love of Christ
that others might see Your love reflected in my
care and concern for them. May Your love
drive and dominate my responses to life and to others.

Love is the family resemblance the world should see in followers of Christ.

Insight

In 1 John 4:9, John’s words parallel those of Paul in Romans 5:8, which reads: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Notice that with both Paul and John the emphasis is on how God’s love has been proven through the sending of His Son to us. Paul’s perspective, however, is rooted in our unworthiness while John’s focus is on the gift of life in Christ.

Thanks for today’s Bible Lesson!

I used to have one of those sweaters. They were very popular in the early 60’s.

Some of the knitted designs were VERY complex! :-)

[The Mayor]

I remember well, I had a few sweaters like that too.

They were wonderful, and WARM!

Rather like a library these days. People still go but far fewer. Information and comments are good and most of us want a place to catch up on stuff. Please let it remain a part of our daily check in or check up on going. Computers have lost many to the smart phones, Ipads, etc. Still the computer is all some of us have. Thank you so much for the time and energy and attention necessary to keep a thread going. There is no required amount of commentary necessary to be viable ... or is there?

God bless America, Free Republic, conservatives, FREEDOM, Faith, and all believers in the LORD of the universe, in Jesus name amen.

excerpt form your posting ...
“I still check ODB daily and check to see who else has dropped by.
Many days it is just Rus. Thank you so much, Mayor ... you are appreciated!

If y'all want we can leave it open and whoever stops by will have a place to check in and share graphics and greetings.
I can post a new thread every couple of months.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LET US KEEP IT OPEN!

[trisham]

I certainly enjoy being included in on all of the kind greetings, beautiful graphics and scripture and messages.

Like Luv and LTOS said....this is a friendly place, that would be missed. I’ll pop in whenever and wherever pinged, FRiends ;)

(((Hugs))) and blessings!

**********************************

Me too! I sometimes don't see all of my messages, but I'll do my best.
