It feels good to express love, whether through a smile, a touch, or a prayer. It heightens our sense of being alive. Acknowledging another's presence means that we, too, are acknowledged. Each of us is familiar with feeling forgotten, unnoticed, or taken for granted, and recognition assures us all that we haven't been overlooked.
Knowing we are loved may be the key to our doing the things we fear. Love supports us to charge ahead, and we can support others to charge ahead. We know that if we fail, we have someone to turn to.
Love heals. It strengthens, making us courageous both when we receive it and when we give it. Knowing we are loved makes our existence special. It affirms that we count in another's life. We need to honor our friends by assuring them of their specialness too.
(Each Day A New Beginning)
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

I need others. I need to strengthen my supports, my connections to others and love them with everything God gives me.
Love,

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
That's really great Liz, both parts. As a mother of 3 bi-racial children that is my hope is that others will look at my kids for their hearts, not the beautiful color of their skin.
Thanks my friend...
Love,
