...and I LOVE People

My previous two posts were about loving my husband and God. Another LOVE of mine is people. Strange as it may seem since I'm not a super dynamic or sanguine person that I LOVE people!

Redonia has been blessed with her launch full-time into her business. If you need an outstanding graphics design job, printing or photography give her a chance! Of course you have to be local to utilize her photography but she can serve you with graphics and printing anywhere in the world. Today I spent some time helping her with some of the administrative side of her business. I love watching her grow. She is like her Mom & Dad and LOVES people!

I enjoy being with those I LOVE. Today a friend of mine, Victoria Green, called and invited me to meet up with her and shop. Then meet up with several others @ Pappasito's for dinner. Redonia and I decided to skip the shopping but we did meet Victoria & Jonathon Green, Mamaw & Papaw Smith (Kent's parents), Myron, Kim, Gavin & Jackson Smith, and Ron Woffard. Kent, Redonia, & I shared fajitas. We enjoyed our time with family and friends. Jonathon and Victoria feel more like our older children. I LOVE all these people!

Tonight @ dinner I overheard a conversation at a nearby table trying to decide if we were the Smiths. Of course I quickly turned around. The three dear ladies attended my in-laws church when they pastored in Aransas Pass. One of them I remembered well. Amazing these ladies live near Conroe. What an honor if they visit us in church! We were so thankful to see them again. I LOVE people even if we haven't seen someone in a very long time!

Today I received an anonymous comment to my previous post. Dear anonymous, you will certainly be in my prayers. I am looking forward to seeing you @ CUPC soon. If you come alone please notify a hostess or usher to have me meet you in the foyer. I would love to sit with you in church. Of course not on my front row seat!!! I LOVE people and meeting new people!!!

Years ago when I was only a teen I recall my Dad having a conversation with a minister who had evangelized and pastored. He complained to my Dad that he hated people. What a shame! I can't imagine being in ministry not LOVING people. I LOVE people!!!!

I hope where ever you may be reading this post that you realize you are LOVED because I LOVE people....

Blessings for an exciting week....

Your post reminded me of a quote: "Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver." Truly, having the ability to love is a marvelous thing. Blessings to you too.

Sister Smith, I can honestly say I have never met someone like you. You are the essence of honesty and love. You live love. I have never seen anyone reach so many people with love in so few words, or even a smile....but you do. I AM truely blessed and honored to know you.

Sis. Smith,
I love your posts. Sometimes it feels like I am back in your Youth Sunday School class :). Those were great times!
Love you,
