A few weeks back I was giving my 7-year-old nephew a ride home after church. We were stopped in traffic next to a cemetery where a large family group was gathered decorating graves. My nephew asked what all the people were doing in the graveyard. I explained they were putting flowers out to show love and honor for their family.
He thought about that for a minute. Then he said, “Well, that’s weird. They are already dead.” He paused a moment, then added, “They should have done that before they were dead!” Ahh, the wisdom of a child! It doesn’t cost a thing to honor others with our words, to show love with our actions.
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. -Romans 12:10, NIV
Take it from a 7-year-old, there is no better time than right now to tell someone you love them or to show some respect for a job well and faithfully done. In closing, I want you all to know it’s an honor to share my thoughts with you. Thank you for that privilege. Go show some love today! Honor God and make Him smile!
