You miss a lot of really important stuff when you’re deployed. It’s been almost fifty years but I can still remember. Not the life for everybody but God bless those who can handle it.

Happy Purim to You, Too!
I had a chance to explain the holiday to several folks who nhad never heard of it. I tied it in with the modern situation with Iran (Persia) and people were quite interested.

Freep mail me to be on or off the Daily Bread ping list
Start With Me
I call them Mell Noteslittle comments my daughter Melissa made in her Bible to help her apply a passage to her life.
In Matthew 7, for instance, she had drawn a box around verses 1 and 2 that talk about not judging others because, when you do, with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. Next to it she wrote this Mell Note: Look at what you are doing before you look at others.
Melissa was an others-oriented teen. She lived the words of Philippians 2:4. Her classmate Matt, who knew her from church nursery through her final days in the eleventh grade when she died in a car accident, said of Melissa at her memorial service: I dont think I ever saw you without a smile or something that brightened up peoples days. Her friend Tara said this: Thanks for being my friend, even when no one else was as nice and cheerful as you.
In a day in which harsh judgment of others seems to be the rule, its good to remember that love starts with us. The words of Paul come to mind: Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love (1 Cor. 13:13).
What a difference well make if, when we look at others, we say, Love starts with me. And wouldnt that be a great reflection of Gods love for us?
Lord, thank You for the great love You lavished on us when You sent Your Son to die and be resurrected so that we could be with You eternally. In response, help us to love others. Lord, we want to be like You.
Embracing Gods love for us is the key to loving others.
: In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul is extolling the value of love, but it is not just any kind of love. In Greek, there are a variety of words for love that range in meaning from physical to fraternal. Here, the word translated love is agape, which speaks of supreme lovethe kind that sacrifices itself for the one loved. This is the love God demonstrated for us by giving His Son to pay the price for our sins (John 3:16; Rom. 5:8).
