Announcements and Living with Love

Hello everybody!

I've been thinking about the people we come across who are more difficult than most to love. There are always family and friends more similar to us than others, and they're usually easy to love and appreciate. It gets hard when we spend time with those who never see eye to eye with us. There are those who never seem to give but always want to take. Then we run across the ones who seem to live unaware of other people around them, making those people feel insignificant.

I would encourage you to pay attention to the people around you and the ones who are especially hard to love. Try to find some sort of common ground, and take it from there. We need to remember all people are the same feeling, thinking, living, breathing creatures just like us. We all have needs and wants. People crave to be loved, so try to understand that even when someone is hard to love, you never know how much they might desperately need it.

"Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained." -C.S. Lewis
