Love

It's Valentine's Day today.  The day we tell our parents, children, grandchildren and spouses that we love them.  But today I want to say "I love you" to some that I would not ordinarily say "I love you" to.  To the UPS driver that got stuck in the ditch across from my house two weeks ago and admitted he was having a very bad day, "I love you."  To the man at Weis Market that collects the grocery carts from the parking lot who never smiles, "I love you and I will continue to say hello and smile at you each time I am there to shop."  To Kayla at Tops who does finally smile when I see her, "I love you."  To Heidi who I only just met a few months ago and who pushes on no matter how many times she visits the hospital, "I love you - you are amazing."  To the tenants that moved out of my apartment and still owe three months back rent, "I love you."  To the people that I disagree with and often find infuriating, "I love you."  To those I have met in the past and to those I have yet to meet, "I love you."
It's easy to love more than just the people you are closest to if you have Jesus in your heart. . .
