"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. ...So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Gal 6:2, 10
1 Jn. 3:11-18
"It may not be to you... that the call is given to leave your country to carry the message of salvation to the heathen; for you the pillar of cloud and fire may rest over some Elam; God may bid you watch over an aged parent, make a home happy, bring up children for Him. Your work may be in ... a parish, perhaps in a crowded city, perhaps in a peaceful village. But is your eye fixed on that pillar, the emblem of the will of your Heavenly King? Is the calm peaceful resolution of your heart, 'Wherever Thou wilt, however Thou wilt, O my Lord! but guide me and I will follow!' Then blessed is your path, whether in the wilderness of green pastures, whether in roaring billows or beside the still waters! ...Fighting against the power of Satan both within and without, you may be as truly serving the Lord, as truly pressing forward to the prize, as if planting the banner of the Cross" ~ A.L.O.E
A friend is there on your good days and the rough ones, when you are feeling fabulous and frumpy, when you need to laugh and cry. I could not have imagined how richly the Lord would bless me with friends like these. Thank you for your encouragement and constantly turning me to Christ! "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. ...So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Gal 6:2, 10 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. Prov. 27:17 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Rom. 16:9-10 Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel. Prov 27:9 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. Rom 15:5-7 For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another…. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abideth in death. ...Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and sees his brother hath need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him? My little children, let us now love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

AuthorI will be the first to admit that I am not a writer, but have a sincere aspiration to articulate Truth with grace, in love, seasoned with salt. Here is a journal of sorts, or photo documentations of a journey - one currently around the world in Papua New Guinea working at the Kunai Health Center. Thanks for visiting and your support!
