All You Need is Love...

Somebody famous once sang that...but anyway, it's true...although probably not in all the same ways the Beatles meant it.  We're entering a new month, which of course means a new monthly character theme focus, new verse to go with it, and new Book Club book.  So, here it is:

February Book Club Book:
  The Five Love Languages of Children
(we'll be covering chapters 1-3 on Thursday)

Monthly character theme: Love 

Monthly theme verse:

     Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

I love those verses- they're so freeing, and they fly in the face of anyone who claims Christianity is just a list of rules.  Love sums it all up.  As we grow in our love for God, we learn from He who is Love shows us how to truly love.
