Fish Lips--Day 36

I'm sure if I documented how many times the kids make me smile in a day, I'd count dozens. Noah was walking around doing the fish lips face. I'd seen it once before I think, but he was doing that while walking around the house. Kids are great. Not just mine, but all of them.

Love for my co-workers and love for the church congregation. Love for all the wonderful people in the world and love for my enemies. That is the state-of-mind I need to be in. If I can do that, I can keep my focus on God, who will guide me and use me as another loving person to help others.

Thank you Jesus, and thank you Pastor Don.

Much Love,
Mark
