Love!

Hi, so this weekend was great! Im not sure how easy it was for Chris because I was away on a retreat for 72 hours, but he seemed to survive. I had an amazing time with God and was able to really take time with Him and let Him do some much needed repairs on my heart. I am so grateful and blessed for what Christ has done for us all. I saw this weekend a glimpes of how much God loves me and all of us! I saw the body of Christ (Christians) come together from many denominations and just love each other. Without judgement and condemnation, just love. Because God has done so much for us! How can we not give out what He fills us with. I was filled to overflowing this weekend and all because I finally took the time to spend with God. Before I was trying to give to people out of myself and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working out so great, but now as I continue to spend time with Him and remain in Him He will remain in me and I will have the over flowing love to give to others. Bottom line is~ it doesn't come from me, it's all HIM! I pray that I will be able to give more to my family and those around me! To see people as hearts and souls, not just disgruntled people. We are all in need of love! I hope I can give more of that! So, if I haven't told you lately, "I love you" and "God loves you more!" Have a blessed day! Shannon
